CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. IV 51 



Distribution. West coast of Norway at five places, from Hardanger Fjord to Lofoten, 60 — 150 

 fath.; rather far from Norway at Lat. 63°io' N., 417 fath., temp. 4- 1.0°, and at Lat. 66°4i' N., 350 fath., 

 temp. 40.9° (G. O. Sars). Besides west of Ireland, 199 fath. (Caiman). -- Caiman states that the species 

 "is recorded, with an indication of doubt, from E. Loch Tarbest (L. Fyne) by Brook and Scott" ; its occurrence 

 in that Loch may be possible, but is not very probable.

As Caiman points out differences between the telson in most of his specimens and Sars' account, 

 it may be stated, that I have examined the telson in many females and found it to agree with Sars' figure 

 both in shape and in length and number of spines, excepting that sometimes four pairs of lateral spines were 

 found. Caiman suspects that H. Normani Bonnier will prove to be a synonym to H. cristata; it may be pos- 

 sible, but seems to me rather improbable. - - It may be mentioned that the Epicarid Cumoechus insignis 

 H. J. H. was found in the marsupium of three females from Lat. 6i°07', Long. 9°3o' W., 



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



Davis Strait: Stat. 25: Lat. 63°3o' N., Long. 54°25' W., 582 fath., temp. 3. 3 ; 2 specimens. 



Besides taken by the "Thor" at 4 localities in our area. 



South of Iceland: Lat. 63°I5' N., Long. 22°23' W., 114 — 172 fath.: 4 specimens. 



Lat. 62°io' N., Long. I9°36' W., 1010 — 1142 fath.; 6 specimens.

South-West of the Faeroes: Lat.. 6i°i5' N., Long. 9°35' W., 463 — 515 fath. ; 12 specimens. 



Lat. 6i°07' N., Long. 9°3o' W., 443 fath.; 84 specimens. 



Distribution. Taken four times in Skager Rak between Jutland and Norway, 226 — 350 fath. 

 (H. J. Hansen); the "Thor" captured it south-west of Norway at Lat. 58°32' N., Long. 4°i8' E., 148 fath. 

 At the west coast of Norway in several places from Hardanger Fjord to Lofoten "in depths of more than 100 

 fathoms" (G. O. Sars), yet in 1886 Sars stated to have gathered it at Huso in 80 — 100 fath. The "Thor" 

 secured it north-east of Shetland, Lat. 6i°i4' N., Long. i°i9' E., 85 fath.; Norman recorded it from south 

 of Rockall, Lat. 56°07' N., Long. I4°I9' W., 630 fath., and Caiman from five stations west of Ireland, 199 — 

 382 fath. But when Sars (1900) writes: "British Isles (Robertson)", it can only be founded on a single locality ; 

 according to Norman it was in i860 published by Robertson that this species had been taken in the Firth 

 of Clyde.

Of this very interesting genus only 2 species are known, one from each hemisphere. The northern 

 species has been discovered in the "Ingolf" area.
