 Norvegica,' pi. cxix., but not Pycnogonum grossipes, Fabricius) would seem 

 to be this species. 



I find Nymphon Stromii to vary so greatly in the proportionate lengths of 

 its several parts that I cannot but think that Hoek and others who would 

 unite the following species with the present have much to justify the view 

 which they take. 



N.E. America {Wilson)-, south and west coasts of Norway as far as 

 Lofoten Islands in 10-50 fathoms (Sars); Faroe Channel (Hoek); Sumburgh

Nymphon giganteum of Goodsir is, I think, clearly the N. gracilipes of 

 Heller. Goodsir's type-specimen was obtained off Embleton, on the 

 Northumberland coast, and G. Hodge recorded it in 1863 and 1865 fi-om 



* I took it and recorded it from Shetland (43) in 1861 in 80 fathoms ; but the specimen 

 has been destroyed.
