First found by M. Sars in the Christiania Fiord, and subsequently by 

 his son. Professor G. O. Sars, on the "West Coast of Norway. 



It has lately been added to the British fauna. Dr Henderson has 

 forwarded to me specimens for examination which were taken in the 

 tow-net in the Firth of Forth by the Scottish Marine Station. I pro- 

 cured it in the same way in July last in Loch Fyne, when with Mr J. 

 Murray on board the ' Medusa,' the vessel of the Scottish Marine Station, 

 and subsequently to my leaving, it was again taken by the ' Medusa ' 

 between the islands of Bute and Cumbrae; and now (February 188G) 

 Professor Ewart has found specimens in the stomachs of herrings caught 

 on the East Coast, and examined by the Scotch Fishery Board.

Thysanopoda Norvegica has been found throughout the entire length of 

 the Norwegian coast from Christiania to Vadso (G. 0. Sars) ; and I am 

 indebted to Professor G. O. Sars for Norwegian specimens. 



It has been known to me as a member of British fauna for twenty-five 

 years, having been first found by myself at Shetland, and a few years 

 afterwards sent to me about the same time by Mr David Robertson from 

 the Firth of Clyde, and by Mr Thomas Edward from the Moray Firth. 



The following are additional localities of specimens in my collection : — 



1. Tow net, Yalentia, Ireland, 1870. A.M.N. 



2. Taken 7 miles off the Berling Islands, coast of Portugal, by Mr David- 

 son, July 22, 1870, when on board the 'Porcupine.' 



3. 'Porcupine,' 1869; lat. 60° 34' N., long. 4° 40' W. 



4. 'Triton,' August 1882, abundant in the Faroe Channel. 



5. Eastport, N. E. America, from Professor S. I. Smith. 



6. Observed in 1880 by me when on board the French exploring vessel 

 * Le Travailleur ' in the Bay of Biscay. 



7. During the summer of last year I procured it with the towing-net 

 when with Mr Murray in the ' Medusa ' in Loch Fyne. Subsequently other 

 specimens were forwarded to me which had been taken in Loch Long 

 (Clyde) ; these exceed in dimensions all others that I have seen, and 

 measure 50 mm. long. 



8. Lastly, Professor Ewart has sent me specimens taken from the 

 stomachs of herrings on the East Coast of Scotland.
