EXPEDITION TO POINT BARROW, ALASKA.

A single specimen was dredged just outside the grounded ice, about 4 miles above the station, 

 in about 15 fathoms of water. The bottom was an exceedingly tenacious and fetid black mud. 



The species has been recorded from Spitsbergen and the neighborhood of Nova Zembla, and as 

 far east as Bering Slrait.

Two good-sized specimens and four smaller ones of the ciliata type and two medium individ- 

 uals of the longisetosa type were dredged near the station, in about 3 fathoms, on the muddy bottom. 



One smaller specimen of the longisetosa type was also obtained near the head of Norton Sound, 

 in 5 fathoms, on a pebbly bottom. 



It has been recorded from Labrador, Greenland, Norway, Spitzbergeu, Nova, Zembla (and 

 northward toward Franz Josef Land, where it was obtained by the Austrian Expedition), and the 

 Arctic coast of Siberia as far round as Saint Lawrence Bay. It also occurs on the British coast.
