 in his account of the Crustacea of the Norwegian North Atlantic Expedition, 

 a sohtary young specimen was found in a sample taken on the 24th March, 

 1894, the tow-net having been lowered to a depth of 300 metres.^

3. Nyctiphanes norvegicus (M. Sars). 



A well-preserved specimen of this beautiful form was taken on the 22nd 

 May, 1894, from a depth of 100 metres. 



^ That this form must have occurred rather plentifully in about the same tract, and in 

 the very surface of the sea, is proved from the fact that easily recognizable remains 

 of it were found in the stomachs of 8 specimens of the roseate gull (Bhodosfetkia 

 rosea) shot betvreen the 3rd and 8th August same year.
