the “Tjalfe’ (Cand. mag. Ad. Jensen), and West of Iceland at Lat. 65°00’ N., Long. 28°10’ W. by the 
“Thor” (Dr. Joh. Schmidt). Besides it has been secured by the “Thor” at a number of stations between 
Lat. 63°10’ N. and 48°04’ N., Long. 18°46’ W. and 4°33’ W.; one among these stations is situated South of 
Iceland, one North-West of the Feeroes, and two South-West of the Feroes; the other stations are outside 
the “Ingolf”’ area, and the most southern South-West of Ireland; the depth was always considerable, “from 
100 to 600 met. below the surface’’. Jungersen (1. c.) gives a complete list of the stations, with elucidations. 
Lerneocera Blainville. 
It is with reluctance that I follow Wilson in adopting Blainville’s name for this genus, the type of 
which is generally known as Lernea branchialis I,. Only a single species has been found in our area.

North-West Iceland: Isefjord, on the branchiz of Gadus callarias. 6 specimens. 
This species is common at West Greenland, having been taken on the branchiz of Gadus ogac or 
G. callarias at Godhavn, in Disko Bay, at Egedesminde, Ikamiut, Holstensborg, Godthaab, Arsuk, Juliane- 
haab and Tunugliarfik, thus between Lat. 69°14’ N. and 60°43’ N. It is not known from East Greenland. 
At North-West Iceland L. branchialts has been gathered in Adelvig, Isefjord and Dyrefjord; at South- 
West Iceland in Havnefjord and Grindavik; at North Iceland in Skagestrand Bugt, in Ofjord, and at Lat. 
66°19’ N., Long. 14°33’ W. — It has also been found at the Feeroes. 
Distribution. — According to T. & A. Scott taken at a good number of places around the coasts 
of the British Islands on various species of Gadoids, “while young females with males attached to them may 
be found on the gill-filaments of flat-fishes such as the flounder, Pleuronectes flesus’’. Adult females have also 
been found on a good number of Callionymus lyra and on a Centronotus gunnellus. Furthermore known from 
Denmark, the western coasts of Sweden, Norway and Belgium. Wilson records it from the coasts of Maine 
and Massachusetts, and from Georges Banks.
