OPHIUROIDEA. 
Ophiura Sarsi, Liitken. In all the Sydvaranger fiords. 
—— allbida, Forbes. Vads6 (Danielssen).

also at Svolver, Lofoten Islands. 
Ophiocten sericeum, Forbes. Off Vards, in 148 fathoms (‘ Vorin- 
gen, Stat. 262). 
*Amphiura elegans, Leach. I found this species at Svolveer, Lofoten 
Islands. It is not yet known in East Finmark, though it 
has been recorded from as far east as the Murman coast by 
Jarzyusky. 
Ophiopholis aculeata, Linné. In all the fiords. 
Ophiacantha bidentata, Retzius. Varanger and Lang Fiords, down

fathoms, four small specimens (‘ Voringen,’ Stat. 262). 
purpureus, Diiben & Koren. Dr. Hjort, in the ‘ Michael 
Sars,’ dredged this species in 1900 in the Porsanger Fiord 
(Grieg). 
[Asteronyx Lovént, Miller & Troschel. Herr Grieg informs me (in 
litt.) that this species was inserted by mistake in the Kast 
Finmark column of his paper. It was taken by M. Sars in 
Oxfjord, West Finmark, and not in Oxfjord in East Finmark. | 
Gorgonocephalus Lamarcki, Muller & Troschel. Herr Grieg writes 
to me that a specimen of this species from Varanger Fiord 
(Vads6) is in the Bergen Museum. 
eucnemis, Miller & Troschel. Taken by M. Sars at Vadsé in 
1857 on Primnoa lepadifera; but some doubt attaches to the 
identification of the young specimen (Swars, 2). 
Agassizii, Stimpson. This species is in the Bergen Museum 
from the Varanger Fiord (Grieg). This is the only instance of 
its occurring on the European coast. It is known from 
N.E. America, Greenland, and Jan Mayen.

Vardé, in 127-148 fathoms (‘ Voringen’). 
Plutonaster Parelii, Diiben & Koren, var. longibrachialis, Dan, & 
Kor. Inthesame two dredgings as the preceding (‘ Voringen ’), 
Ctenodiscus crispatus, Retzius. Inner reach of Lang Fiord, in 5- 
30 fathoms ; Bég Fiord, in 100-120 fathoms; and Varanger 
Fiord, 100-125 fathoms.
