The species is widely distributed in the deeper parts of 
the North Atlantic and adjacent waters, where the bottom tem- 
perature is above zero, in depths from ca. 200 to ca. 2500 M. 
(105—1731 Fthms.). It has been found in many localities in 
the Davis-Strait (up to Lat. N 66° 49’ and off the Greenland 
coast to Longit. W 56° 37), off the East coast of N. America 
from New Foundland to the Westindies; further in the Dan- 
mark-Strait, SW and S of Iceland, off the Færøe Islands, and 
off Ireland, in the Spanish Sea, at the Azores, Madeira and 
the Canaries. 
Possibly the species also belongs to the North Pacific, at 
any rate a form found by the “Albatross” in Japanese waters 
(720 Fthms.) has been referred by Nutting to the Acanella 
Norman Verrill.
