1898-1902. No. 20.] BRACHIOPODS AND MOLLUSCS. 15 



Tellina torelli has not previously been found in the waters west 

 and north of Baffin Bay. According to JENSEN the species was pre- 

 viously only known to occur on the west and east coasts of Greenland, 

 at Spitsbergen, and in the Kara Sea. 



Tellina, macoma, moesta, DESHAYES. 



Locality: 



July 26. 1900. West side of the entrance to Stordalen, Ha vnefjord, about 20m. Clay. 



Sept. 20. The head of the Gaasefjord, 6-40 m. Clay with small stones. 



Aug. 2. 1901. , about 40 m. 



Aug. 16. , about 14 m. 



The species seems to be very scarce, as with the exception of a 

 pair of loose shells only 6 whole specimens were obtained, three of 

 which were alive. These latter and the largest of the dead specimens 

 measure : 



Long 21.5 mm Lat. 15.5 mm. Crass. 6.5 mm. (dead) 

 20 14.5 6 



19.2 14.5 .. 6.2 



19 14 5.5 



The specimens are rather over middle size, since tellina moesta 

 according to JENSEN has a maximum size of 34.5 mm. They are almost 

 exactly similar to the specimen from the east coast of Greenland which 

 he has depicted (tab. 1, fig. 4, a, d). 



Tellina moesla was also previously unknown in the waters west 

 and north of Baffin Bay. JENSEN states that the species was previously 

 known to occur at Baffin Land, on the west and east coasts of Green- 

 land, at Spitzbergen and at Novaya Zemlya as well as in the Kara Sea, 

 Siberian Polar Sea, Bering Sea and at Alaska. Tellina moesta is 

 thus a high-arctic circumpolar species. 



Among a number of molluscs taken by the Michael Sars in 1901 

 at Green Harbour, Spitzbergen, 150 m., in addition to several tellina 

 calcaria 4 specimens of this species were found 12.5 15 mm. long. 



Tellina, macoma, loveni, IAP. STEENSTRUP. 



Locality: 



March 7. 1900. Bay south of Sjopolse Ness, Havnefjord. 3040 in. Small stones 

 slightly overgrown with laminaria. 



5 specimens 7 14 mm. long, the largest of which measure: 



Long. 14 mm. Lat. 9 mm. Grass. 5.5 mm. 

 12.2 8.5 ?
