which differs from the typical form occurring in shallower 

 soundings in certain fairly constant characteristics, of which 

 the three mentioned above are the most prominent. 



General distribution.— West Norway to lat. 69° 30' N. 

 (Norman, Sars, etc.) ; west coast of Scotland, Loch Long and 

 Lower Loch Fyne (Caiman); off the Faroe Is., off Iceland 

 and in Davis Straits (Hansen) ; east coast of the United States 

 between Boston and New York (Smith). A specimen of this

 lat. 59° 41' N., long. 7° 34' W., 458 fathoms. 



Irish distrihutio72 . — Off the Irish coast this species has only 

 been found at all plentifully in a single locality— Eathlin Deep,
