This species I have not examined; it is strange that 

 Breitfuss 1. с records it as an Ascandra, since it is evident 

 from the description by Fristedt, and especially from his 

 figures, that the sponge is a Grantia; without examination of 

 the type specimen it is impossible to say anything certain about 

 the species, yet I am somewhat inclined to think it identical 

 with G. arctica.

Of this species we have five specimens; they are cylindrical 

 or somewhat compressed, and slightly curved, and they have a 

 shorter or longer oscular fringe; the largest specimen has a 

 height of 20 mm. When the dermal rhabds are not torn off the 

 surface is highly and uniformly hispid. I determine the species 

 as capillosa, but I must remark, that the dermal rhabds are 

 not straight but generally somewhat curved.
