De ydre JEgmasser forholder sig omtrent som hos 
N. grossipes. 
Farven hos det levende Dyr er hvidgul med hrede, 
vakkert orangefarvede Tvserbaand over Legemet og Lem- 
merne. 
Forekomst. N;crva:rendc Art er meget almindelig 
langs vor hele Kyst paa 10 — 50—100 F. D. "Under 
Nordhavs-Expeditionen blev Exernplarer tagne i baltstrom- 
men samt paa folgende Hav-Stationer : Stat. 31, 223, _ 27 o, 
290, den Iste beliggende udenfor vor Yestkyst, den 2den 
Syd af Jan Mayen, de 2 sidste Nord at’ Finmarken; Dyb- 
den fra 70—417 F. Ogsaa fra det kariske Hav liar jeg 
havt nogle faa Exernplarer til Undersogelse, indsamlede 
under Nordenskjolds Expedition 1875. 
Udbredning. Angaaende Artens ovrige Udbredning 
er det vanskeligt at afgjore noget med fold Sikkerhed, da 
senere Forskere ialmindelighed ilcke har villet anerkjende 
den som saadan. Den synes imidlertid itolge Dr. Hansens 
Meddelelse at forekomme ved Danmark (Hellebmk), lige- 
som 2 Exernplarer, ,,nsermest svaronde til Formen inixtum 
Kr.“, af samme Forfatter anfores som tagne under Dijmphna’s 
Expedition ved Vestkysteii af Novaja Semlja. Af Hodge 
angives den at forekomme ved England (Kysten af Durham), 
og Buchholz nsevner Arten fra Dstkysten af Gronkmd og 
fra Spitsbergen. De af Hoek fra Challenger Expeditionen 
omtalte Exernplarer blev tagne ved Dstkysten af Nord- 
Amerika (Syd af Halifax), paa 83 F. D. Arten synes 
herefter at have en ss&rdeles vid geographisk Udbredning, 
skjondt den nsermest er at betragte som en arktisk Form.

Artscharacter. Legemet af spinkel Form, med vidt 
adskilte Sidefortsatser. Hovedsegmentet noget kengere 
end de 2 folgende Segmenter tilsammen, Halsen smal og 
forlamget, Pandedelen temmelig fortykket i Enden. 0ie- 
knuden meget lav, stumpt tilspidset i Enden. Snabelen 
forholdsvis liden, neppe mere end halvt saa lang som 
Hovedsegmentet. Saxlemmerne temmelig korte, Haanden 
neppe saa lang som Skaftet, tat haaret; Fingrene meget 
korte, neppe mere end halvt saa lange som Palmen. 
Folerne med 3die Led noget kortere end 2det, sidste Led 
dobbelt saa langt som mestsidste og begge tilsammen 
kengere end 3die Led. De falske Fodder af middelmaadig 
Ltengde, Kandtornerue omtrent som hos N. bremtarse. 
Gangfoddcrne tynde og forlangede, nmsten 5 Gange kengere 
The outer egg-masses are about as in N. grossipes. 
The colour in the living animal is a whitish yellow, 
with broad transversal bands ol a beautiful orange hue on 
the body and limbs. 
Occurrence. The present species is very common 
along the whole coast of Norway, at a depth of 10- 50 
100 fathoms. On the North Atlantic Expedition specimens 
were taken in the Saltstrom and at the following ocean- 
stations: Stat. 31, 223, 273, 290, the first lying off the 
West Coast of Norway, the 2nd South of Jan Mayen, 
the 2 last North of Finmark; depth from 70 to 417 
fathoms. Also from the Kara Sea I have had a few 
specimens for examination, collected on Nordenskjold s 
Expedition in 1875. 
Distribution. As to the further distribution of the 
species, it is difficult to say anything with certainty, later natur- 
alists having in general not been disposed to recognize its 
claim to specific distinction. Meanwhile it would seem, ac- 
cording to Dr. Hansen’s statement, to occur on the Coast of 
Denmark (Hellebsek), while, also, 2 specimens, approximating 
closest the form mixtum Kr.“, arc recorded by the same 
author as taken on Dijmphna’s Expedition, on the West 
Coast of Novaja Semlja. By Hodge it is said to occur 
on the English Coast (that of Durham), and Buchholz 
records the species from the East Coast of Greenland and 
from Spitzbergen. The specimens mentioned by Hoek 
from the Challenger Expedition were taken on the East 
Coast of North America (South of Halifax), at a depth of 
83 fathoms. The species would seem from these data to 
have an exceedingly wide geographical distribution, though 
strictly it must be regarded as an Arctic form.

Specific Characters. Body slender, with widely sep- 
arated lateral processes. Cephalic segment somewhat longer 
than the 2 succeeding segments taken together, neck slender 
and elongated, frontal part tumefieated at the extremity. 
Oculiferous tubercle very low, obtusely pointed at the end. 
Proboscis comparatively small, scarcely more than half as 
long as the cephalic segment. Chelifori rather short, hand 
hardly as long as scape, densely hirsute ; fingers very short, 
hardly more than half as long as palm. Palpi with the 3rd 
joint somewhat shorter than the 2nd, last joint twice as long 
as the penultimate one, and both taken together longer than 
the 3rd joint. False legs of moderate length, marginal 
spines about as in N. brevitarse. Ambulatory legs slim and 
elongated, well-nigh 5 times longer than the body, and beset
