of Biscay, here reaching the maximum depth hitherto recorded 
of 383 Fathoms (*Caudan”, Roule 1896).

The first and third of these localities are east of Iceland, 
the second N.W. of Iceland in Denmark-Strait. The specimens 
in the Museum of Copenhagen belong to the same distributional 
area, viz: the original specimen, captured in 1891 by the cruiser 
*Fylla” (Capt. Wandel), and two specimens, taken by the cruiser 
*Ingolf” 1895, from Denmark-Strait; one, taken by the 
steamer *Thor”, 1904, off N.-East Iceland, and one, by the 
“Ingolf” 1896, N of the Færøe Islands; one specimen is from 
the above named “Michael Sars” St. 96, east of Iceland. The 
bottom temperature at all localities hitherto known is below 
zero, with the only exception of the “Michael Sars”s St. 13, 
where the temperature is just a little above zero. Evidently 
this species is a truly arctic one, a denizen of the deep cold 
area of the Northern Sea, ranging from 287 to ca. 400 fathoms. 
The magnificent material in the Museum of Bergen enables 
me to make some additions to my previous account of this 
remarkable form, of which at that time only a single specimen 
had been captured. Further particulars will be given in Vol. 
V, Part 7 of “the Danish Ingolf-Expedition”, now in prepara- 
tion; here I only wish to state the following: 1) two speci- 
mens have been found attached to stones, the lower part of the 
stem being expanded into a kind of basal membrane; 2) the 
polyp-bearing part of the stem above the “horny” cuticular
