THrovueu the courtesy of Mr. W. S. Bruce, of Edinburgh, I have 
already had the privilege of examining and describing (1) the 
collection of Pantopoda from the seas around Franz-Josef Land, 
made by him while attached to the Jackson-Harmsworth expedi- 
tion during 1896 and 1897. During the summer of 1898 Mr. 
Bruce was cruising in the 8.8. ‘“‘ Blencathra,”’ in the Arctic Ocean ; 
and he has now committed to me the task of determining the 
pycnogons which were dredged on that expedition. Any addition 
to our knowledge of the distribution of these interesting creatures 
is to be welcomed, and I am glad therefore to be able to place 
on record the localities and depths at which Mr. Bruce’s specimens 
were obtained. ‘T'wo specimens from the neighbourhood of Franz- 
Josef Land, which were, by oversight, not forwarded to me last 
year, are inserted here ; one of them belongs to a species, Hurycyde 
hispida (Kroyer), not included in my former Paper. 
All the species here mentioned are fully described and figured 
in Sars’ beautiful monograph (2). The specimens in this collec- 
tion are, by Mr. Bruce’s generosity, deposited in the Science and 
Art Museums of Edinburgh and Dublin. 
Family.—_ PALLENIDA. 
Pseudopallene circularis (Goodsir). 
Lat. 68° 52’ N.; Long. 49° 23’ E. 20 ims. 1 male (6th 
June, 1898). 
Lat. 70° 48’ N.; Long. 53° 9’ BH. 20 ims. 1 male, with 
newly-hatched larve (16th June, 1898). 
These occurrences of this species off the coast of Kolgouev, 
and at the entrance to Kara Straits, does not add materially to
