Natural History of East Finmark. 409 
was dredged by the ‘ Voringen’ in Barents Sea (i. e. Stat. 267, 
lat. 71° 42' N., long. 37° 1’ W., in 148 fathoms *). ] 
Asterias rubens, Linné. Varanger Fiord. 
Mulleri, M. Sars. Vads0 (Danielssen) ; Sverholt (Grieg). 
glaccalis, Linné. Grieg marks this in his Kast Finmark 
column, but gives no locality, and, indeed, states that it is 
found up the whole coast to Komag Fiord; but that fiord is 
in West Finmark. }

Levinsen’s figures and description should be consulted 
when determining this species. His fig. 7 illustrates the 
adambulacral papille &c., and shows the absence of those 
adambulacral spines to which I shall call attention in my 
notice of the next species. 
The type of “ A. Gunneri” was taken by the ‘ Voringen’ 
in Advent Bay, Spitsbergen, while “A. stellionura” was 
taken by the same expedition not only a little to the south of 
Spitsbergen, but also off Vardé in 148 fathoms (Stat. 262). 
Lovén has also recorded it from the Varanger Fiord, and 
more recently it has been again dredged by the ‘ Michael 
Sars’ in 180 metres off Ekero, at the mouth of the same fiord.

* I have not in these papers taken into account the ‘ Véringen’ 
stations 267, 270, 273, and 275, which were to the north of Kast Finmark, 
If this were done, other species would be added to the fauna,
