CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 



South-West Iceland: 63 46' N. L,., 22 56' W. L,., 80 fm., "Thor" 1904; some spec. 



East Iceland: Mid Fjord, 4o r / 2 50 fm., "Diana"; i spec. 



It is noted from West Greenland, Karajok Fjord in ca. 70 20' N. L. (Vanhoffen), but the specimen 

 I have mentioned in Malac. Groenl. as coming from 59 N. L,., 51 W. L. has proved on renewed 

 examination to be a young Rhoda inermis, in which the eyes were to a certain degree divided into 

 two portions. 



Distribution. The species is also known from the Faeroe Channel, Shetland, northern part 

 of the North Sea and East Scotland (several observers), Skager Rak (InternaL Explor.), also from the 

 west coast of Ireland (Holt & Tattersall), but Caullery's statement that it occurs in the Bay of Biscay 

 is probably due to an erroneous determination. It is further known from the Norwegian west coast 

 and Varanger Fjord (G. O. Sars), from Horn Sound at Spitzbergen (Zimmer) and finally has been 

 found on the north-east coast of North America at Eastport, Maine (Norman). -- Norman and Ort- 

 mann bring in as synonymous T. longipes Brandt from the Sea of Ochotsk and Zimmer follows them 

 hesitatingly. But judging from Brandt's observation that spines are present on the upper posterior 

 margin of some of the abdominal segments this reference is quite incorrect; through the kindness of 

 Dr. A. Birula I have been able to examine a couple of Brandt's (extremely mutilated) type-specimens, 

 which show, as stated by him, well-developed dorsal processes. 



Remarks. A renewed examination of the very old and badly preserved specimens investigated 

 by Kroyer has shown, that most of these in which the eyes are preserved belong to this species (which 

 was, however, first well described by Sars under the name T. borealis}, whilst some specimens, to 

 judge from the eyes, belong to Rhoda inermis. Kreyer's figure is poor, and he has never given a 

 description, but as most of the specimens seen by him belong to T. borealis I still keep Krayer's 

 name for the species. If Kroyer's name has to be scored out, the species according to Norman's 

 synonymy list must be called T, aberdonensis Sim.

Occurrence. The "Ingolf" did not find this species but it has been taken by the "Thor" in 

 1904 at 4 localities: 



South-West Iceland: West of Geirfugleskjser, Young-fish trawl with 100 m. wire out; i spec.

Distribution. This oceanic species is known from the North Sea (Intern. Explor.), from the 

 east coasts of Scotland and North England (Norman), Irish Sea and west of Ireland (Holt Si Tatter- 

 sail); in 1905 the "Thor" found it several times to the west and north-west of the Hebrides. It has a
