Lasæa rubra synes at være en kosmopolitisk art, som 
anføres saavel fra Atlanterhavet som Det stille ocean. Den 
bathymetriske udbredelse er O—910 fy. Fossil er den 
kjendt fra Italien, Irland, England og Norge, hvor M. Sars 
har taget den i skjælbanken paa Kirkøen, Hvaløerne.

places in Kors Fjord by Norman. 
Lasea rubra appears to be a cosmopolitan species, 
recorded from both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Its 
bathymetrical distribution is from 1 to 910 fathoms. It 
is found in a fossil state in Italy, Ireland, England, and 
Norway. In the last-named country, it was found by 
M. Sars in the shell-bank on Kirkøen, in the Hval Islands.

Lasea pumila erholdtes kun paa en lokalitet, station 
192, 649 fr. Den er tidligere kjendt fra Islands vestkyst, 
Kanalen, Biskayerbugten, kysten af Spanien og Portugal, 
Sicilien, Adriaterhavet og Azorerne. Jeffreys anfører den 
desuden fra Korea. Den bathymetriske udbredelse er 60 
—1367 fy. Fossil er den kjendt fra Englands cragfor- 
mationer og Siciliens pliocene lag.

Lesea pumila was found in only one locality, namely 
Station 162 (649 fathoms). Its occurrence had previously 
been recorded off the west coast of Iceland, in the English 
Channel, the Bay of Biscay, off the coast of Spain and 
Portugal, Sicily, in the Adriatic, and the Azores. Jeffreys 
mentions it also in the Corea. Its bathymetrical distribu- 
tion is from 60 to 1367 fathoms. It is found as a fossil in 
the crag in England, and in the Pliocene strata in Sicily.

Aæinopsis orbiculata er en eireumpolar art, som er 
kjendt fra Grønland, Labrador, New Foundland, Island, 
Norge, Jan Mayen, Spitsbergen, Murmankysten, Novaja 
Semlja, Karahavet og Alaska. Ved den norske kyst er 
den temmelig sjelden, idet den kun er funden paa nogle 
faa lokaliteter mellem Bodø og Vadsø. Den bathymetriske

from 2 to 120 fathoms. Knipowitsch mentions it as Post- 
pliocene in Spitsbergen (Krausshavn). 
Axinus orbiculatus, Jeffreys (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1881, 
p. 702, Pl. LXI, fig. 5) is not Sars’s species. Both in 
form and seulpturing, it is quite different. We fear, 
therefore, that Posselt is labouring under some misappre- 
hension when, in ,,Conspectus Faunæ Greenlandica* (p. 751), 
he unites the two forms. It may moreover be remarked 
that Jeffreys expressly states that they are not identical. 
It is rather rare on
