1902. St. 53: 62° 36’ N. 3° 21' E.; 360 M. (180 Fathoms); 6° 54 C. 
Off the Norwegian coast, N.W. of Cape Stat. Mr. J. Grieg, of Bergens 
Museum, kindly informs me that Par. arborea often was taken by the “Mi- 
chael Sars”, especially in the “Norwegian depression”, but the specimens 
were not preserved. 
From old times Paragorgia arborea has been known to 
occur in Norwegian waters; specimens from Norway have been 
described in the 17th and 18th century (Clusius'), Wormius, 
Pontoppidan, Linnæus*), Strøm, Gunnerus); later investigators 
(M. Sars, Koren, Danielssen, G. 0. Sars, Storm, Grieg, Norman, 
Nordgaard, Broch, Arntz) have recorded its occurence in se- 
veral fjords, from the entrance to the Hardangerfjord (at 
Ryvarden and Bommelen) to Oxfjord in West-Finmarken, in 
depths from 100 to 200 Fathoms; and the dredgings of the 
“Michael Sars” have added the “Norwegian depression” and 
locally, also the “edges” of the Norwegian coast plateau (cfr. 
Appellöf, 1. ce. p. 405, 508). 
Koelreuter (1758—59) seems to have got his “Corallium 
spongiosum” from the White Sea*), and the Ausro-Hungarian 
1) A specimen, 6 feet high, had been received from Norway 1599, sent 
by “Doctissimo viro Henrico Hoiero Bergensi Medico”. Through Hoier 
evidently a good many interesting zoological specimens—several birds f.inst 
—were procured for Clusius who described and figured them in his work. 
2) The specimens described and figured 1753 as Lithoxylon norwegi- 
cum in Museum Tessinianum (p. 120, Pl. 10) had been taken at Finmarken 
(,ad Hammarfåst-hamn*) in 380 feet depth.
