This species has been added to the British fauna by H.M.S. 'Triton' in 

 1882, under Sir John Murray (lat. 59° 13' N., long. 7° 13' W.), at a depth 

 of 555 fathoms (Hoek). Between Finmark and Beeren Island, 191 fathoms ; 

 Kara Sea, 20-60 fathoms {Sa7's) ; Barents Sea, 292 fathoms {Hoek) ; Franz

Nymphon groenlandicum is scarcely distinguishable from N. leptocheles. 

 Indeed, Herr Meinert^s description and figures in all ways seem to accord 

 with that species except the following sentence respecting the ambulatory 

 legs : " tarsal joints together distinctly longer than half the second tibial 

 joint ; the second tarsal joint much longer than the first one." As regards 

 the first part of this sentence, in the two specimens examined by me I find 

 the author's words to apply to some of the legs but not to others, and in 

 N. leptocheles there is also considerable variation in the proportionate length 

 of the two ultimate joints to the second tibial. As regards the second part 

 of the sentence it is obviously a lapsus pennce, since it is at variance with 

 the illustration given (fig. 22) and with the specimens ; and for '^ longer '"' 

 should be read " shorter." 



The specimens of N. grcenlandicum differ from the usual N. leptocheles in 

 the much more setose ambulatory legs, more especially the tibial joints, on 

 which the setse are numerous and longer than the breadth of the joint itself.

I have dredged this species in the following places of? the Norwegian 

 coast : — Kors Fiord, near Bergen, 1878 ; Hardanger Fiord, off the southern 

 portion of Huglin Island, in 100 fathoms, 1879 ; Christiania Fiord, 30-100
