most northern part of West Finmark (north of the AVest Fiord). 

 It is especially worthy of remark, that it is not found in Noed- 

 gaakd's collections from the fiords north of 69° N. Still it is 

 alleged (compare LuDwia, 1900) that it has been found on the 

 west coast all the way up to the North Cape, even in Barents 

 Sea. Its occurrence in the most northern part of West Finmark 

 is, no doubt, restricted to the open coast, which in hydrog-raphical 

 and faunistical respect almost agrees with the West Fiord (cf. p. 

 4). Concerning the statement that it should occur in Barents Sea, 

 ought to be observed, that this is due to a confusion with Eupyrgus 

 scaher Lutk.^) 



6. Phyllophorus pellucidus (Fleming). 



Dig-ermuleii 680 18' N., 16/2 1899, 100—150 m., stones and sand. 

 Kvænangen Fiord, Koklen Island, 1% 1899, 90 m., clay and stones, -\- 

 Q.lb^ C. 



Eost 670 30' N., -^U 1897, in stomaclis of tlie Haddock (Gadus ægiefimis). 



The specimens found in stomachs of the Haddock were three 

 in number, all perfect, length about 10 cm. In one of them the 

 calcareous deposits of the skin were still unhurt, wherefore this 

 specimen could with certainty be classified. 



Besides, Nordgaaed collected, 1897, out of the stomachs of 

 the God (Gadus callarias) a great number of foreparts of Phi/IIopho- 

 rus, which, on account of the decomposition of the skeleton, could 

 not with certainty be deiined. Probably they belong, at least partly, 

 to this species. Such foreparts were collected, together with nume- 

 rous free tentacles, on the ^9/3 and ^\/s at Reine 67° 56' N., the 

 'Vi at Bålstad 68° K and the -^/U at Rost 67° 30' N. On the 

 ^74 1899, NoEDGAAED fouud at Stene in Bo, 68° 35' K, numbers 

 of such foreparts in the stomachs of Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). 



The two specimens from Rost, which Danielssen and Koeen 

 (1882 p. 77) mention under the name of Tliyone fiisiis, are simply 

 Phyllophorus iielhicidus. The species is, without doubt, to be found 

 spread over the whole of Finmark, although Såes (1861) mentions 

 East Finmark (Varanger Fiord) and Jaezynsky (Wagnee, 1885) 

 the Murman Coast as its resort. 



1) Trougli the kindness of Professor C. Ph. Sluitek I have had the 

 opportunity of investigating the specimens from Barents Sea, kept in the Mu- 

 seum of Amsterdam.
