Lcittopluj caster arcticus, M. Sars. Tana Fiord and off Vardci, in 



127-148 fathoms (' Yoringen '). 

 lYdasteramh'omeda, Waller &:Txqs,q\\q[. Danielssenand Koren write 



of this species, " along the entire JSTorwegiau coast," and Grieg 



has inserted it in the East Finmark column on this authority ; 



but though I have searched carefullj' I have been unable to 



find any actual statement of its occurrence there. It may 



certainly be expected, as Jarzynsky has found it on the Murman 



coast. 

 Pentcfjjonaster granularis, Hetzius. Sv^erholt, by the ' Michael 



Sars,' 1901 ; Tana Fiord and off Vardii (' Voringen '). 

 Goniaster pJu-jftjiamis, Parelius. Porsanger Fiord and off Yardii 



(' Ytiringcn ') ; 8va;rholt {Grieg). 

 Foraniomorplia rosea, Danielssen & Ivoren. Dredged by Herr 



Hjort in the 'Michael Sars' in 1901, S.S.W. of Kibergnaasset 



in the Yarauger Fiord, in 188-216 metres (Grieg). 

 Uexaster ohscurus. Terrier. Dredged by the ' Michael Sars ' in 



1901 east of Ekero in the Yaranger Fiord, in 180-216 metres

{Grieg). 



pulvUhis^ M. Sars. Lang Fiord, in 25 fathoms (^-L 21. N,) ; 



Sveerholt {Grieg). 



Crossaster papposus, Fabricius. In Lang and Ivlostcrelv Fiords. 



ajjliiis, Brandt. One small specimen of this ten-armed 



Crossaster was dredged by the ' Yoriugc2i ' off Yardo (Stat. 262). 

 It is a question whether it is really distinct from C. papposus., 

 with which Ludvig unites it; but, on the other hand, Danielssen 

 and Koren write that after careful examination of exterior 

 features and internal skeleton they have " arrived at the 

 conclusiozi that the difference between Solaster ajjinis and 

 tSoIaster papposiis is so great and also so constant that we must 

 still afhrm the former to be a distinct species." 



Solaster endeca, Gmelin. Herr Grieg writes to me that Dr. Johan 

 Hjort has collected this species in Kongs Fiord. This small 

 fiord will not be found marked on ordinary maps ; it is situated 

 in long. 47^" 20' E. 



syrtensis, Ycrrill. Dredged b}' the ' Michael Sars ' in 1001 



to the east of Ekero in the Yaraiiger Fiord, in 188 metres 

 (Grieg). I do not know this eight- or nino-armcd form. 

 Ludvig, in ' Fauna Arctica. Seestcrne,' 1900, unites it with 

 JS. endecu.
