This species is thus of very common occurrence throughout the 
whole of the area investigated; it is, however, apparently not found up 
in the Sermilik of Bredetjord. It is particularly frequent from some few 
metres depth down to abt. 100 m.; some species have however, been 
taken lower down; (St. 25, 115 m.; St. 40, 170—180 m.; St. 103, 90—100 
m.; St. 134, 85—140 m.; St. 152, 80—120 m.). 
Most of the specimens are small, about (10—) 30 mm., only a very 
few being from 50—60—70 mm. One or two of the specimens were just 
changing or had recently changed their shell. (St. 13, 88). 
This species has been previously found in W. Greenland from Juli- 
anehaab to Hareo (abt. 70°25’ N.).
