Lofoten Island (cotype Sars). Mus. Nor. 



Sars only procured it during the North Atlantic Expedition at Lofoten 

 and Selsovig in Nordland, depth 100-120 fathoms; and Meinert records it as- 

 taken by the ' Ingolf ' in the Atlantic south-west of Iceland and in Davis- 

 Strait in between 400 and 500 fathoms.

Sars has procured this species at Vadso, and it was brought back by 

 Nordenskjold from the Kara Sea, where it was dredged in 50 fathoms.

This is the species which most recent authors have called N. gracile. The 

 figures by Hoek of " N. gracile " and those of Sars of N. ruhi'um fully 

 illustrate this species. The peculiar armature of the propodos is usually, if 

 not always, a most distinctive character. At the base are some spines 

 (commonly four but they range from two to four) ; these spines (figs. 4, 5) 

 gradually increase in size from the first to the last, beyond the last and at 

 some little distance tliere is another and smaller spine. This peculiar armature 

 is shown in Sars's figure 2, i ; and still better in Hoek^s (28) pi. xxiii. 

 fig. 5. There is very considerable variation in the proportionate lengths of 

 the tibial, tarsal, and propodal joints.
