Between Iceland and the Faeroes: Stat. 4: Lat. 6y°oy' N., Long. n°i2' W., 237 fath.; temp. 2-5°; 



1 spec. 



— - - Stat. 2 : Lat. 63°o4' N., Long. 9°22' W., 262 fath. ; temp. 5-3° ; 



2 spec. 

 North of the Faeroes: Stat. 138: Lat. 63°26'N., Long. 7°56' W., 471 fath., temp. -^ o-6°; 12 spec. 



It has been recorded from two places at Grinnell Land, the most northern locality being at 

 Lat. 79°44' N. (Miers), and was taken at several places off West Greenland and in the eastern part of 

 the Baffin Bay between Lat. 78°i8' N. and Lat. 69°3i' N. (several authors); in all six places north of 

 Lat. 77 N. the depths were from 15 — 20 to 50 fath., bnt in Baffin Bay they were from 100 to 199 fath. 

 Furthermore it has been secured by the "Thor" south of Iceland: Lat. 63°i5' N., Long. 22°23' W., 119 — 

 172 fath., 1 spec; and by Admiral Wandel at four places, viz.: North of Iceland in the Skagestrand 

 Bay, 119 fath., temp. 2-9°, 1 spec; East of Iceland: Lat. 63°i5' N., Long. g°35' W., 270 fath., 6 spec; 

 nearer to Iceland off Seydis Fjord, 135 fath., 2 spec; finally East of the Fseroes: Lat. 6i°23' N., Long. 

 5°04' W., 255 fath., temp. o°, 3 spec. Mag. R. Horring gathered it in Nord Fjord, East Iceland, 35 — 55 

 fath., 1 spec. 



At East Greenland M. typica has been taken by Danish and foreign expeditions at ten places 

 between Lat. 69°25' N. and Lat. 77°3i'N.; at two of these places it was secured by the Ilnd Amdrup- 

 Exped., viz. in Turner Sound, Lat. 69°44' N., about 3 fath., and in Hurry Inlet, Lat. 70°5o' N., 7 — o fath. 

 in a net for catching eels; the eight other localities have been put together by Stephensen (1913), and 

 their depths were from 5—25 fath. down to 167 fath. 



Distribution. Recorded from the Fteroe Channel, 540 fath. (Norman), from Skager Rak be- 

 tween Jutland and Norway in depths from no to 340 fath. (Meinert, H.J.H.), along the whole coast 

 of Norway from Christiania Fjord to Vadso, 60 to 400 fath. (G. O. Sars), besides in the sea west of 

 Norway at three stations in the cold area, 350 to 417 fath. and one station in the warm area, 220 fath., 

 temp. 6-o° (G. O. Sars). Furthermore taken between Beeren Eiland and Norway, 217 fath., temp. 2° 

 (Ohlin); north-west of Beeren Eiland, 658 fath., temp, -f- V2° (G. O. Sars); in several places at Spitzber- 

 gen, northwards to Lat. 8i°i4' N., from 5—8 and down to 175 fath. (Sars, Ohlin); in the Barents Sea, 

 62 to 180 fath. (Hoek, Weber); at Franz Joseph Land, 2—30 fath. (T.Scott) and somewhat more south- 

 wards (Heller), near the south coast of Novaya Zemlya, about 50 fath. (Stappers), in the Kara Sea, 

 20—100 fath. (Stuxberg, H.J.H.) and eastwards to Long. 78°4o' E. (Stuxberg). - - Furthermore it has 

 been gathered in Arctic America, viz. at Lat. 76°48' N., Long. 88°39' W. (G. O. Sars), and at two places 

 on the west coast of Baffin Bay, between 5 and 28 fath. (Ohlin); finally in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 

 in the Bay of Fundy, 60 fath., and off New England (various authors). 



This species lives certainly on or near the bottom; in cold places it has frequently been taken 

 in depths from a few and down to about 50 fath., but in warm water it occurs scarcely in lesser 

 depths than 60 to 120 fath., in the warm area it has been taken in depths down to 420 fath., while 

 in the cold area it occurred even in 658 fath.
