410° Canon A. M. Norman—wNotes on the 
I dredged this species on two occasions in quite shallow 
water, in 5-30 fathoms, in the inner part of Lang Fiord. It 
is new to the Norwegian fauna. ‘The size of one of these 
specimens is nearly double that represented in Danielssen and 
Koren’s plate, and the single row of spines passing down the 
centre of the back of each | arm is very conspicuous, as in the 
figure referred to, On the other hand, in much smaller 
specimens collected in the Kara Sea by the ‘ Dijmphna ’ 
expedition, for which I am indebted to the Copenhagen 
Museum, this central row of spines is scarcely noticeable. 
The character which at once distinguishes A. panopla from 
A. Linckii consists in the spines on the under surface of the 
arms, where bordering the ambulacra is seen a row of slender 
spines which are in pairs, and exterior to these another row 
of well-developed and conspicuous spines (see Dan. & Kor. 
pl. v. fig. 2, at the base of the left-hand side of the arm). 
The following quotation from Levinsen well describes the 
adambulacral papille and spines, outside of which is the 
other row of spines to which I have just referred :—“ Papillze 
adambulacrales biseriales apposite, inter papillas singulas 
serici interioris jam pedicellariz, jam spine, vestigia trans- 
formationis in pedicellarias seepe exhibentes, site. Spinze 
extra papillas adambutacrales per paria clisposite, spinis 
singulorum parium ad basin concurrentibus, supra diver- 
gentibus.” 
EcHINOIDEA. 
Lichinus norvegicus, Diiben & Koren. Rather small specimens were 
taken by the ‘ Voringen’ off Vard6 (Stat. 262). ‘ 
—— esculentus, Linné. Herr Grieg writes to me that this species 
has recently been taken by Dr. Johan Hjort in the Varanger 
Fiord to the south of Kiberg. 
Strongylocentrotus drébachiensis, O. F. Miiller. , Varanger, Lang, 
aud Klosterely Fiords. 
pictus, Norman. Varanger Fiord, 100-125 fathoms; Klos- 
terelv and Lang Fiords, in 3-30 fathoms. This form—whether 
species or variety—is characterized among points already 
described by the very large size of the ‘‘sphérides” (Lovén). 
Professor Lovén showed me the same form under another name 
in the Stockholm Museum. Unfortunately I did not make a 
note at the time, and have forgotten what that name was. 
Schizaster fragilis, Diiben & Koren. Taken in mid-channel in the 
Varanger Fiord in 100-125 fathoms. A specimen measured 
75 millim. long, 65 millim. broad, and 40 millim. deep. 
Spatangus purpureus, O. F. Miller. Sveerholt (Gricy).
