Common, though the species occurs nowhere in such abundance as 
astarte borealis. 
The majority of the specimens can be referred to the variety 
warhami, Hancock. However the variety striata Lracu is by no 
means scarce, though globosa MéxLEeR on the other hand is very rarely 
met with. I append some measurements showing the variations which 
this species also undergoes:

The largest specimens have a length of 25~26 mm. On the west 
coast of Greenland this species attains a length of 22 mm. (PosseEt7). 
On the east coast of Greenland it attains a length of 24 mm. (Jensen). 
The maximal size of the species is 27.4 mm. (Kn1powrtscu).

Gaasefjord, though even there it could not be said to be scarce.
