Habitat. According to my observations this species is sublitoral in the Polar Sea, 
growing scattered in 2—5 fathoms, on exposed coasts, attached to stones, muscles, and 
stout stems of Laminaria. 
Geogr. Distrib. The present species has been found at several, widely distant 
places in the Polar Sea, but it seems never to occur there in any considerable numbers. 
The most northerly locality where it is certainly known to occur is Matotshin Shar on 
the west coast of Novaya Zemlya Lat. N. 73° 15’. 
Localities; The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden according to specimens in 
KLEEN’sS herbarium. Kuen does not record the species from here. The specimens in 
his collections are young or little developed and have probably been considered by hiin 
to belong to Ralfsia verrucosa. 
The Murman Sea: the coast of Russian Lapland, where the species seems to be 
rather abundant; the west coast of Novaya Zemlya from Matotshin Shar to’ Rogatshew 
Bay, pretty common and plentiful. 
Baffin Bay: Cumberland Sound; the west coast of Greenland: Nenese and Na- 
nortalik. Besides there are specimens in the herbarium of the Copenhague Museum 
without any locality noted.
