Some of the specimens at hand correspond by the oval- 

 orbicular shape of the shell and by the two distinct folds on 

 the posterior side with the variety Gouldii Phil. Others have on 

 the contrary only one distinctly marked fold on the posterior 

 side, and the shell approaches the rounded triangular shape. The 

 maximum length is 6 mm. (the specimens from Hurry-Inlet, 

 50 fms.). 



The Kolthoff-Expedition of 1900 took it twice at the

 in the outer part of Myskoxe-Fjord, 116 fms., clay (3 speci- 

 mens). These specimens were reaching a length of 6'6 mm.
