respectively. In specimens from Spitzbergen I have found the numbers 

 to be 2226/1622. According to TORELL they are 29/23. In speci- 

 mens from the Siberian Polar Sea LECHE found 23/14 teeth. KRAUSE 

 found 21/13 teeth in a specimen 31 mm. long from the Bering Sea. 

 According to POSSELT moreover yoldia Ityperborea may have as many 

 as 38 32 teeth. 



The largest specimens measure: 



Rice Strait Long. 34.5 mm. Lat. 17 mm. Grass. 9.5 mm. 



31.5 16 8.5 



Gaasefjord 29 15.5 9 



26 14.5 7.5 



A right valve from Gaasefjord had a length of 31 mm. POSSELT 

 gives the maximum size of this species as 45 mm. 



Yoldia hyperborea is not mentioned by either POSSELT or HAGG, in 

 their treatises on the distribution of this species, as occurring in waters 

 north of America. But as has been already remarked by TORELL it must 

 be this species which under the name of nucula sapotilla REEVE 

 mentions as occurring in the Wellington Channel.
