Distribution in General: 



Priapulus bicaudatus is considerably more limited as to its distribution than 

 the former species, being mainly confined to the depths in the Atlantic and Arctic 

 Seas, North and West off Norway. To my knowledge it does not occur of the nor- 

 thern coast of Asia. The Norwegian North- Atlantic Expedition of 1876 — 1878 caught 

 it at no less than 11 stations, the southmost being : 62° 44' n. — 1° 48' e. (Danielssen 

 and Koren 1881). The same authors, and de Gtierne (1888) too, had obtained 

 specimens from the Varanger Fjord in Finmarken. The eastermost localities, where 

 it has been dredged up, is recorded to be: 72° 30' 3" n.— 36° 39' 5" e. and 73° 13 

 5" n.-30° 42' e. (Horst 1882).
