The stations 85, 86, 98, 99 are E. of Iceland, between Iceland and the 
Færøes; 43, 57 NE of the Færøes; 38, 38a, 39 and 53 between the Færøes 
and Norway, the two latter nearest to Norway. 
The geographical, distribution of E. florida seems to be a 
good deal more restricted than that of the preceding species 
of the genus Eunephhya. It has not been taken by the “Fram”, 
and has not been recorded from any waters East of Kolafjord. 
It is hitherto known from Baffin’s-Bay and Davis-Strait (be- 
tween 76° 26' N and 63° 30' N, and off the Greenland coast 
to 67° 27’ Longit. W.), but only from one of the southernmost 
fjords of W. Greenland (viz: Bredefjord); at East Greenland 
(Turner Sound, C. Tobin); Danmark Strait; off the northern 
coast of Iceland; at Spitzbergen; in the North Atlantic South 
and East of Iceland, round the Feerges, and off Norway; in 
some of the Norwegian fjords between Nordfjord and Oexfjord, 
and in Kolafjord. It has further been found as far south as 
off Achill Head, Western Ireland. 
The description given by Verrill: Proceed. U.S. Nat. Mus., 
1879, p. 200, makes it almost certain that his Alcyonium multi- 
florum is identical with E. florida. The specimens of “Alc. 
multiflorum” was taken off the north eastern coast of N. America 
at Lat. N. 44° 06", Long. W. 52° 54, 220 fathoms; Lat. N. 
44° 30', Long. W. 37° 08’, “and in various other localities, in 
deep water”. In the Albatross Explorations 1883, Rep. Comm. 
Fish and Fisheries 1883 (1885) p. 533 V. mentions the species 
again as common off Nova Scotia, with bathymetrical range oi 
130 to 300 fathoms. 
Thus besides the W. Greenland seas the distribution of E. 
florida apparently also comprises at least part of the western 
- Atlantic. 
As any rate the species is arctic and boreal. Its bathy- 
metrical range is very wide: from 3 to 600—700 Fathoms; and 
it may be found in bottom-temperatures above as well as 
below the freezing point.
