Halefodderne er alio af ens Udseende og Storrelse, 
mod forhengede lancetformige Grene, hvoraf den indre er 
stcfrst. 
Halevedhmnget (Fig. 3 b) er meget lidet, udelt, med 
Spidsen jevnt tilrundet. 
Legemet er temmelig gjennemsigtigt, med sparsomt 
rodligt Pigment. 
Iaengden er 14““, 
Forekomst og Udbredning. Enkelte Exemplarer af 
denne smukke Art er under Expeditionen tagne paa 3 for- 
skjellige Stationer, hvoraf de 2 (St. 18 og 137) ligger i 
Havet udenfor Norgcs vostlige Kyst, medens den 3die (St. 
336) ligger Syd af Spitsbergen; Dybden fra 70 til 452 
Favne. Da ialfald de 2 af disse Stationer tilhorer den 
kolde Area og den 3 die ligger langt ind i den arktiske 
Zone, inaa Arten uden Tvivd betragtes som en segte hoi- 
nordisk Form.

Lmngden 18™”'. 
Findested. Stat. 240. 
The caudal stylets are all of a uniform size and ap- 
pearance, with elongate, lanceolate branches, the inner one 
being the larger. 
The telson (fig. 3 b) is very small, undivided, with 
the point evenly rounded oil'. 
The body is comparatively translucent, sparingly fur- 
nished with a reddish pigment. 
Length 14 Mm . 
Occurrence and Distribution. — A few individuals 
of this beautiful species were taken on the Expedition, at 
3 different, Stations, two of which (Stats. 18, 137) lay off 
the western coast of Norway, the 3rd (Stat. 336). having 
been located south of Spitzbergen; depth ranging from 70 to 
452 fathoms. Meanwhile, as 2 of these Stations were in 
the cold area, and the 3rd lay far within the limits of the 
Arctic zone, the species must unquestionably be regarded 
as a true Arctic form.
