From deep water 7 specimens were captured of this beautiful 
species. The gonads, the stomach and the tentacles are splendidly 
orange (the specimens are preserved in formaline); in some spec- 
imens the large eggs are seen in the gonads. The jelly is very 
thick, fully as thick as the depth of the bell cavity; there are 
15—18 tentacles. The specimens in hand have the following sizes 
(as far as preserved medusæ can be measured): 
djarseter: 18 15. 14 DS IT IT SN 
hegbt: 14 18 18 1 10 70 SEE, 
number of tent.: 18 ib 8 Ea 26 
From the Atlantic ocean I have seen larger specimens of the 
same species. 
Further distribution: Off the New England coast (Few- 
kes); probably widely distributed in North Atlantic depths.

Levinsen records this species from Disco Bay. The +Tjalfe” 
has taken it, rather sparingly, during July and August 1908 in 
Umanak Fjord, Disco Bay, off Holstensborg, and in Godthaab Fjord.
