Denne art forekom vistnok ikke blandt Nordhavseks- 

 peditionens materiale, men jeg tager den med her alligevel, 

 fordi jeg vinteren 1899 tog den blandt andre steder ogsaa 

 i den indre del af Vestfjorden, som gik ind under ekspe- 

 ditionens undersøgelsesfelt. 



Det har ogsaa sin interesse, at K. smittii hører til 

 de polyzoer, som gaar dybest ned. 



1 Tranødybet (Vestfjorden) tog jeg nemlig 16de Marts 

 1899 et eksemplar i en dybde af 607 — 640 m. Arten er 

 funden paa forskjellige steder langs den norske fra Kors- 

 fjorden til Slotholrnen i Nordland.

 Pindesteder. St. 2, 23, 31. 



Norman (17, vol. 13) har undersøgt eksemplarer fra 

 Karahavet og St. Lawrence og paa de førstnævnte tillige 

 fun det oocier, som lignede oocierne hos den foregaaende art. 



Kinetoskias arborescens er hidtil kun funden i et eks- 

 emplar i Wijde Bay, Spitsbergen, i 40 favnes dyb, lerbund, 

 af prof. Loven. Dijmphna-ekspeditionen tog diverse eks- 

 emplarer i Karahavet (Levinsen). Danielsen tog etpar ved 

 Vadsø (90 favne, lerbund), endvidere er arten kjendfc fra 

 St. Lawrencebugten (Whiteaves). Det er saaledes inter- 

 essant at kunne konstatere artens tilstedeværelse paa St. 2 

 (Sognefjorden). Paa dette sted var dybden 1229 meter, 

 hvilket er den største hidtil kj endte sænkning af bunden i 

 nogen norsk fjord. Bunden bestod af sandig ler og tem- 

 peraturen paa dybet 6°. 7 C.

Denne art forekom blandt det mig tilstillede mate- 

 riale, men uden angivelse af findested. Jeg har ellers tåget 

 samme paa forskjellige steder fra Bergen til Lofoten.

This species did not, indeed, occur in the North At- 

 lantic Expedition's collection, but I nevertheless include it 

 here, because, among other places, I found it, in the early 

 part of 1899, in the inner part of Vestfjorden, which was 

 included in the Expedition's field of investigation. 



It is also of some interest to note that K. smittii 

 belongs to those Polyzoa that go deepest. 



In Tranodybet (Vestfjord) on the 16th March, 1899, 

 I took one specimen from a depth of between 607 and 

 640 metres. The species is found in various places along 

 the Norwegian coast from Korsfjorden to Slotholmen in 

 Nordland.

Occurrence. St. 2, 23, 31. 



Norman (17, vol. 13) has examined specimens from 

 the Kara Sea and St. Lawrence, and on the former found 

 oæcia that resembled the oæcia in the preceding species. 



Only one specimen of Kinetoskias arborescens has 

 hitherto been found in Wijde Bay, Spitsbergen, at a depth 

 of 40 fathoms, clay bottom, by Prof. Loven. The Dijmphna 

 Expedition found several specimens in the Kara Sea (Le- 

 vinsen). Danielsen found a few at Vadsø (90 fathoms, 

 clay bottom), and the species is further known from the 

 Gulf of St. Lawrence (Whiteaves). It is thus interesting 

 to be able to prove the presence of the species at Station 

 2 (Sogne Fjord). The depth here was 1229 metres, which 

 is the greatest depression of the bottom hitherto known in 

 any Norwegian fjord. The bottom consisted of sandy clay, 

 and the temperature there was 6.7° C.

This species occurred in the collection sent to me, 

 but there was no statement as to where it was found. I 

 have also found the same species in various places between 

 Bergen and Lofoten.
