Habitat. In the Polar Sea this species, wherever it has been met with hitherto, 

 always occurs in the litoral zone, usually at its upper margin, occupying a narrow 

 border below Pelvetia canaliculata. It is certainly gregarious, like several other species 

 of Fucus, but never occurs, at least not on the north coast of Norway, in so great 

 numbers as some of these. I never found it but on exposed coasts. During the sum- 

 mer, even to the month of October, it bears receptacles in the Norwegian Polar Sea. 



Geogr. Distrib. It is known only from the Atlantic region of the Polar Sea, 

 attaining its maximum of frequency in its southern part. The most northern place 

 where it has been found is Gjesvasr in Finraarken about Lat. N. 71°. 



Localities: The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden, common; Tromso amt, pretty 

 abundant at several places in the neighbourhood of TromsO; Finmarken: Gjesvaer and 

 the south coast of Magero, more local and scarce.
