This widely -ranging species is apparently absent from the cold- 

 water area of the North Atlantic, as it was not met with either by the 

 Norwegian North Atlantic Expedition (Collett, 1880), Ingolf (Xiitken, 

 1898), or Michael Sars (Collett, 1905), although abundant off the 

 southern part of the west coast of Ireland. With the exception of 

 two specimens found dead on the coasts of Norway and Denmark, the 

 above are the most northerly records known to us.
