Brussels Museum; and it is undouhtcdly the same as 

 C. ternata, var. gracilis, of Smitt, and M. gracilis, Busk ; so 

 that although the name is not changed, it must be assigned 

 to the first-named instead of the last author. Although Van 

 Beneden's lower figure (fig. 2) looks more like ternata from 

 its set of three zooecia, it is merely accidental ; for while 

 M. gracilis usually has five to nine or even twelve zoa3cia 

 in an internode, there may sometimes be found as few as 

 three. 



In Van Beneden's Cellarina gracilis, as illustrated by the 

 fragment in my possession, which he kindly cut for me 

 in my presence from the type, the lateral avicularia arc 

 larger than usual, there is no medium avicularium, the 

 fornix or scutum is of moderate size, and there are two or 

 three oral spines (Van Beneden figures four on young 

 zocecia) ; the median zocecium has no central mucro. 

 Smitt's figure 23 most nearly represents it, but the lateral 

 avicularia are larger; Van Beneden^s specimen is exactly 

 like some from Spitsbergen, for which I am indebted to 

 Herr Smitt. 



Vardo, Varanger and Sydvaranger Fiords, 



A form was dredged in 125-150 fathoms in the Varanger 

 Fiord in which the spines of the zooecium attained very 

 great development. There were in this form usually three 

 mouth-spines, two of which are of great length, and one of 

 them extraordinarily so, it being from three to four times 

 the length of the zooecium from which it springs.
