eacli, the tarsus bearing two spines beneath (fig. 15). In the 

 foot of the first pair the propodus bears four spines (fig. 16). 

 It will be noticed that the claw is long and the auxiliary claws 

 small. In the adult G. macronycc the claw is proportionally 

 longer and more slender, and the auxiliary claws proportionally 

 smaller, than in the larva, while the spines beneath the propodus 

 are regular, exceedingly numerous, and very slender.

E. 22. 77° 55' N. lat., 53° 16' E. long. ; 130 fms. 8 p.m., 

 13 July, 1897. 1 immature specimen. 



E. 17. 77° 55' N. lat., 53° 20' E. long. ; 130 fms. 10 July, 

 1897 (brown mud). 1 female. 



This well-known, blind, circumpolar species was recorded by 

 Heller (1) from the neighbourhood of Franz- Josef Land. It 

 has been dredged in most of the Arctic seas of both the Old and 

 New Worlds, and as far south as 60° N". lat. in the Faroe 

 Channel. Its known range of depth varies from 120 to 750 

 fathoms.

This giant among Arctic pycnogons has already been recorded 

 from the coast of Franz-Josef Land by Miers, who described it 

 as a new genus and species. It has a very wide range in the 

 northern seas, having been dredged from BafS.n's Bay, the 

 Barents Sea, the coast of Lapland, the Kara Sea and the Siberian 

 Polar Sea, and the Faroe Channel. The comparatively shallow 

 depth, at which the present specimen was obtained contrasts 

 strongly with the great depth at which the species appears to 

 live towards the southern limit of its range — 412 fathoms off 

 the west coast of Norway (Sars), and 540 fathoms in the Faroe 

 Channel (BoeJc).
