Coast of Finmark. 
Hasvik, Sørøen (near Hammerfest). a. 1864, one specimen 
63 mm. 0. 1885, one specimen 68 mm. (Kria. Mus.). According 
to Collett (1875 p. 54, 1903 p. 114) both specimens probably 
are from the ventricle of codfish. They are, however, in good 
condition. In specimen 0. I have found AO 5 + 7 on both sides. 
Collett (1903) has AO 5 —- 7 for specimen a., but I think AO 
6 — 7 to be the right number as the specimen is mutilated where 
the first photophore is generally situated. In both specimens is 
a large supracaudal luminous plate. 
2. The Norwegian Sea. 
To my knowledge M. glaciale has not been recorded from 
the shallow North Sea proper, nor from the coasts on the west 
and the south, and on the east only from the west coast of 
Norway where, however, the deep Norwegian channel produces 
different conditions. It is above the slopes of the North Sea 
plateau down to the basin of the Norwegian Sea that M. glaciale 
is first met with. In the following the finds from the Norwegian 
Sea are enumerated, the localities being arranged in succession 
according to latitude, from south to north. | 
1. The Faroe Channel. In the years 1896 and 
a number of specimens were taken from various depths by the 
“Research” in vertical hauls with closing-net. The material has 
been elaborated in detail by Holt (1898 p. 552 etseq.). It com- 
prises 16 specimens, one adult 58.5 mm. and the rest larval and 
postlarval stages 4.5—14.5 mm. As I shall revert to this mate- 
rial later on (p. 15), I shall here only mention the localities 
and dates of the catches, using the data which Fowler (1898 
p. 1016) has published on the investigations of the “Research”.
