Halecium groenlandicum Kramp. 
H. groenlandicum Kramp, August 1911, p. 367, Pl. XXII. 
» polytheca Linko, December 1911, p. 73 , fig. 15 and p. 240. PL I; fig. 4. 
My description of this interesting species was based upon one 
single colony from North-East Greenland; Linko described the same 
species a few months afterwards under another name, and gave åa 
thorough description of it, possessing several good specimens. From 
the short Latin diagnose and the figures I have no doubt but that 
it is in fact the same species; unfortunately I am not able to read 
the long Russian description. In his Addenda (p. 240) Linko cites 
my description of H. groenlandicum, presuming its identity with the 
species described by himself and pointing out as an interesting fact 
that the species is distributed as far west as NE-Greenland. Now 
it has also been found off West-Greenland: on Lille Hellefiskebanke 
off Sukkertoppen, Stat. 419 (one colony, 8 cm, with coppinia-like 
masses of fertile, intertwined tubes on the trunk and the rhizome; 
on a Bryozoan), and off the south coast of Disco, Stat. 180 (a 
little piece of a trunk with fertile tubes). 
Thus, the species is now known from: West-Greenland, North- 
East Greenland, Barents Sea, Murman coast and White Sea.

A few colonies on a coral from Kvanefjord near Frederikshaab, 
taken with line at 570 m depth. Dons has recently studied this 
species and demonstrated its identity with H. mirabile Schydlow- 
sky and H. repens Jåderholm. It was not previously known from 
West-Greenland. Thus the species is distributed (though sparingly 
oceurring) throughout the arctic waters from the Davis-Strait to the 
Kara Port.
