The occurrence within the Arctic Archipelago of N. America, 
proved by the *Fram”-Expedition, corroborates the supposed 
circumpolarity of this species. The species is, however, by 
no means only arctic, it is boreal as well, and probably its 
distribution extends far towards the south, at any rate in the 
Atlantic, where it is reported from the Azores. It has been taken 
in Baffin’s Bay, Davis Strait, at the coasts and in the fjords of 
Western Greenland (from Umanak to Bredefjord); off the East 
Coast of N. America (to off Delaware Bay, if the identification 
with Verrils, “Gersemia longiflora” proves to be correct); further 
at East Greenland (S. of Cape Bismarck, Hurry Inlet, entrance 
to Scoresby Sound); in Denmark Strait, N. of Iceland, at Jan 
Mayen, Spitsbergen, Beeren Eiland, Franz Joseph’s Land, be- 
tween Jan Mayen, Iceland and the Færoes; at the coasts of Ice-
