This species has been reported only from Norway by 

 Bonnevie and from Cape Spartel by Billard. Jaderholm. makes 

 it synonymous with Lafoea grandis, 1 but I think there is not good 

 basis for so doing. Specimens of L. grandis found in the Van- 

 couver Island region have much larger hydrothecse than these 

 from Canso and apparently that is true of the specimens re- 

 ported from Iceland by Hincks when he gave the original des- 

 cription of L. grandis. 2
