CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. III. 



173 



West of Iceland: Stat. 98: Lat. 65°3S' N., Long. 26°27' W., 138 fath., temp. 5-9°; 2 spec. (1 ? with 



young). 



— - Stat. 95: Lat. 65°i4' N., Long. 30°39' W., 752 fath., temp. 2-1°; 4 spec. 



— - Stat. 9: Lat. 64=18' N., Long. 27°oo' W., 295 fath., temp. 5-8°; 4 spec. 



— - Stat. 85: Lat 63°2i' N., Long. 25°2i' W., 170 fath., temp. ? ; 1 spec. 

 South-West of Iceland: Stat. 81: Lat 6i°44' N., Long. 27°oo' W., 485 fath., temp. 6-i°; 2 spec. (1 



ovig. ?). 

 — - Stat. 78: Lat 6o°37' N., Long. 27°52' W., 799 fath., temp. 4-5°; 6 spec. (1 $ 



with marsupium). 



Furthermore it was taken in Davis Strait, Lat. 66°42' N., Long. 56°i2' W., 130 fath. (Stepheusen), 

 and off Cape Farewell, Lat. 59°33' N., Long. 43°25' W., 120 fath. (Bovallius). Cand. mag. Ad. Jensen capt- 

 ured it at five places near to or a little east of the Fseroes, about half of the specimens on the fishes 

 enumerated above. 



Distribution. A specimen was taken at Bohuslau, west coast of Sweden (Bovallius). "The 

 species would seem to occur not infrequently along the whole Norwegian coast, from the Christiania 

 Fjord to Komag Fjord in West Finmark", in "rather considerable depths descending to 300 fathoms" 

 (G. O. Sars). Sars has also (1886) recorded it from Lat 7i°25' N., Long. i5°4i' E., 620 fath., temp. -=- ro°, 

 a station situated not very far from the limit between cold and warm temperatures at the bottom; 

 Max Weber recorded it from another station between Norway and Spitzbergen, viz. Lat. 71 "55' N., 

 Long. i8°3o' E., 177 fath., temp. 2-4°, but Stephensen's statements on its occurrence at Spitzbergen and 

 in the Kara Sea must be due to some mistake. Finally it has been gathered three times west of Shet- 

 land, 203 to 312 fath. (Norman), and twice west of Ireland, 337 and 350 fath. (Tattersall).

The single specimen, a female without marsupium with the thorax distended, is 29 mm. long 

 and 134 mm. broad, thus conspicuously more than twice as long as broad, considerably larger and 

 much less telescoped than the specimen figured by me in 1895; the thorax is therefore proportion- 

 ately longer, half as long again as the abdomen, and the outline of the animal is similar to that of a 

 normal specimen of .-E. ventrosa. In all important features, viz., the large size of the eyes, the shape 

 of lamina frontalis and of the last abdominal segment and the uropods, the slender legs with very few 

 spines, especially the sleuderness and length of the distal half of the three anterior pairs, etc., the spec- 

 imen agrees completely with my description and figures. 



Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single station. 



South-West of Iceland: Stat 83: Lat. 62°25' N., Long. 28°3o' W., 912 fath., temp. 3-5°; 1 spec. 



Distribution. Only two specimens have been recorded in the literature. The type was pro- 

 cured north-west of Scotland: Lat 59V N., Long. 8-5° W., 801 fath. (H. J. Hansen); the second specimen 

 is from the Gulf of Mexico, 730 fath. (Richardson). — The species has thus been taken in depths from 

 730 to 912 fath., and seems to be a real deep-sea form.
