CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. IV. 



Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single station in the warm area. 



South of Iceland: Stat. 40: Lat.62°oo'N., Long. 2i°36' W., 845 fath., temp. 3.3 ; 2 immature females. 



Besides,- this species has been captured by the "Thor" at two places. 



South-West of the Faeroes: Lat. 6i°i5' N., Long. 9°35' W., 463 — 515 fath.: 31 specimens. 



Lat. 6i° 7' N., Long. 9°3o' W., 443 fath.: large number of specimens. 



Distribution. G. O. Sars says that this fine species has been gathered at several places on the 

 west coast of Norway, northwards to off the Lofoten Islands, and always in depths of more than 100 fathoms. 

 By the "Thor" it has been secured in the northern part of the North Sea at Lat. 58°32' N., Long. 4°i8' E., 

 148 fath. Caiman records it from places west of Ireland, 112 to 454 fath.; Norman from the North Atlantic 

 at Lat. 56°n' N., Long. 37°4i' W., 1450 fath., and from off the Spanish coast, Lat. 48°6' N., Long. 9°i8' W., 

 539 fath. ; Bonnier described a specimen from the Bay of Biscay, 510 fath. Furthermore it has been taken 

 in the Mediterranean near Capri in depths from 65 to 584 fath. (Lo Bianco, Caiman), and East of Sardinia, 

 652 fath. (Stephensen). Finally it has been taken in the North- West Atlantic off the United States between 

 Lat. 3954' and 38°22' N. in depths from 1525 to 1825 fath. (Caiman).

My three specimens are all mutilated ; thus only a single uropod is present. The serration at the median 

 line of the carapace shows the difference pointed out by Bonnier between the female and the immature male, 

 as in the female the posterior two-fifths of the median line have some, in my specimen 4, teeth, placed with 

 irregular intervals, but these teeth are wanting in the young males. 



Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single station in the warm area. 



South of Iceland: Stat. 40: Lat. 62°oo' N., Long. 2i°36' W., 845 fath., temp. $.y, 1 immature male. 



Besides, this species has been taken by the "Thor" at a single place. 



South of Iceland: Lat. 6257' N., Long. i9°58' W., 508 fath.; 1 adult female and 1 immature male. 



Distribution. Norman's type was taken to the south of Rockall, Lat. 56°26' N., Long. I4°28' \Y., 

 109 fath. ; Caiman records it from west of Ireland, 382 fath. ; Bonnier from three places in the Bay of Biscay, 

 with the depths from 133 to 908 fath. Finally it has been taken near Capri in depths from 504 to 584 fath. 

 (Caiman).
