It was known from two places off West Grenland, viz. Lat. 72°32' N., Long. 58°5' (not 51') W., 

 116 fath., stony bottom, and Lat. 66°32' N., Long. 55°34' W., 100 fath., stones with Hydroids and Balani 

 (H. J. Hansen). It has been taken by the u Thor" south of Iceland at four stations: Lat. 63°i5' N., 

 Long. 22°23' W., 116— 172 fath.; Lat. 63°i8' N., Long. 2i°3i' W., 89 fath.; Lat. 63°5' N., Long. 2o°7' W., 

 290 fath., and Lat. 62°n' N., Long. i9°36' W., 1010 — 1140 fms., 2 spec. It is common at the Fseroes, 

 where it has been taken about eleven times in depths from 6 fath. to 180 fath. (various zoologists). 

 East of Iceland it has been taken (by Admiral Wandel) off Seydis Fjord, 135 fath., black ooze, 2 large 

 spec, and 9 miles off the coast, 38 fath. (Mag. R. Horring). Finally it is known from East Greenland : 

 Lat. 69°25' N., Long. 20°i' W., 167 fath., large stones and clay; 1 spec. (Ryder Exp.). 



Distribution. At Denmark this species has been taken in the northern parts of 0resund, 

 15 — 22 fath. (W. Bjorck) and Storebelt, at various places in Kattegat, 7 — 15 fath., and in Skager Rak, 

 100 fath. (H. J. Hansen). It occurs along the whole coast of Norway, generally in 30 to 100 fath. 

 (G. O. Sars); in the Barents Sea, 132 fath. (Max Weber); it is common in the North Sea (Zirwas; 

 Copenhagen Museum), at Great Britain and Ireland, and is taken west of Ireland in depths from 26 

 to 388 fath. (Tattersall). Finally it is known from the northern coast of France and the south coast 

 of Brittany (Bonnier).

Description. Intermediate between I. maculosa Leach, and /. tricornis Kr. — The front 

 margin of the head (fig. 2 a) conspicuously concave, with a somewhat short or moderately long median 

 process, which is a little or considerably longer than broad; the antero-lateral part of the head is a 

 little produced, with the corner subacute or obtuse, and the angle between the lateral and the anterior 

 margin measuring distinctly less than 90 . The eyes are small, and far removed from the lateral 

 margins, as the lateral part of the head is considerably expanded. 



Thoracic segments at the sides somewhat feebly expanded; the lateral lobes of second to fourth 

 segments with a broad, rather shallow incision dividing the lobe into an anterior, small, distally rounded 

 lappet about as long as broad, and a posterior, broad, obliquely triangular portion (fig. 2 a); the lobe
