This species is not merely the most widely distributed of the bucci- 
nidae, but it is also the most abundant. Most specimens can be re- 
ferred to forma normalis, though in some localites the varieties tene- 
brosa, Hancock and sericata, Hancock were also very common. The 
variety patula, G. O. Sars seems on the other hand to be scarce. 
The largest specimen of the typical forms measures: Height 64 mm., 
breadth 26.5 mm., height of aperture 2L mm., and breadth of aperture 
15 mm. Another very thick-shelled specimen measures 60.5 mm., 
34 mm., 30 mm., and 18.5 mm. respectively. The maximal height of 
the varieties tenebrosa and sericata is 31 mm., and of patula is 
25.5 mm. 
From the winter harbour, Havnefjord, 12 m., we have a specimen 
which much resembles the variety major, Possett, though it seems to 
have finer longitudinal ribs. It measures: Height 53.5 mm., breath 
31 mm., height of aperture 27 mm., and breadth of aperture 17 mm. 
From Havnefjord, Hvalrosfjord and Landsend we have buccinidae 
— one in each case — which very closely resemble the buccinum 
hancocki, Mércu from Cumberland Sound which has been depicted and 
described by Prerrer. Jerrreys considers buccinwm hancocki Moércu 
8. grénlandicum Hancock as a variety of buccinwm glaciale in which
