Habitat. According to tny observations this species is sublitoral in the Polar Sea, 

 growing scattered in 2 — 5 fathoms, on exposed coasts, attached to stones, muscles, and 

 stout stems of Laminarice. 



Geogr. Distrib. The present species has been found at several, widely distant 

 places in the Polar Sea, but it seems never to occur there in any considerable numbers. 

 The most northerly locality where it is certainly known to occur is Matotshin Shar on 

 the west coast of Novaya Zemlya Lat. N. 73° 15'. 



Localities; The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden according to specimens in 

 Kleen's herbarium. Kleen does not record the species from here. The specimens in 

 his collections are young or little developed and have probably been considered by him 

 to belong to Ralfsia verrucosa. 



The Murman Sea: the coast of Russian Lapland, where the species seems to be 

 rather abundant; the west coast of Novaya Zemlya from Matotshin Shar to' Rogatshew 

 Bay, pretty common and plentiful. 



Baffin Bay: Cumberland Sound; the west coast of Greenland: Nenese and Na- 

 nortalik. Besides there are specimens in the herbarium of the Copenhague Museum 

 without any locality noted.
