en sylforraig Spids. Derimod er Biklperne forholdsvis meget 
mindre end hos bin Art, neppe '/io saa lang som Ende- 
kloen. 
De ydre iEgmasser (se Fig. 3 a) forholder sig omtrent 
som kos foregaaende Art. iEggene er yderst smaa og 
talrige. 
Forekomst. Yed vore Kvster synes denne Art kun 
at vaere indskramket til den arktiske Region; jeg liar saa- 
ledes taget den ikke sjelden i Varangerfjord ved Yadso 
paa 60 — 100 F. D. Under Nordhavs-Expeditionen erholdtes 
talrige Exemplarer paa forskjellige Punkter, saaledes ved 
Jan Mayen, i Adventbay paa Spitsbergen og i Havet uden- 
for Spitsbergens Nordvestkyst (Stat. 362, 363); Dybden 
fra 70 til 459 Favne. Desuden har jeg havt til Under- 
sogelse Here vel udpraegede Exemplarer fra det kariske 
Hav, indsamlede under Nordenskjolds Expe'dition 1875; 
Dybden 10 — 80 Favne. 
Udbrodning. Arten synes at have en vid Udbred- 
ning i de arktiske Have. Den er saaledes observeret ved 
Frants Josephs Land (Heller), i Barents Seen (Hoek), det 
kariske Hav (Hansen), Grinnels Land (Miers) og, som jeg 
formoder, ogsaa ved 0stkysten af Nordamerika (Wilson).

Artseharaeter. Temmelig lig de 2 foregaaende Arter, 
men noget spinklere og med Sidefortsatserne videre skilte. 
Hovedsegmentet kengere end de 3 folgende Segmenter til- 
sammen, Halsen tynd, Pandedelen staerkt udvidet. 0ie- 
knuden saerdeles lav, afrundet. Snabelen kortere end Hoved- 
segmentet, smalt cylindrisk. Saxlemmerne meget staerkt 
forlaengede og smsekre ; Skaftet kruminct i Enden; Haanden 
neppe hen gore end Skaftet, staerkt buet og smal, Fingrene 
af Palmens Lamgde, Spidsen af den' bevsegelige Finger 
knudeformig fortykket , af den ubevsegelige hageformigt 
indkrummet, Taenderne i Inderkanten af Fingrene, navnlig 
paa den ubevsegelige, af meget ulige Storrelse. Folerne 
saerdeles tynde og forlaengede, 2det Led betydelig laengere 
end 3die, de 2 sidste Led af ens Lamgde og tilsammen 
neppe laengere end 3die. De falske Fodder bos Hanne.n 
omtrent af Legemets Lamgde, meget tynde, 5te Led lamgst 
og laengere end Endedelen, Randtornerne smalt lancetfor- 
mige og grovt saugtakkede i Kanterne. Gangfodderne 
almost as long as the propodal joint, and very narrow, 
running out to an awl-shaped point. The auxiliary claws 
are, on the contrary, relatively much smaller than in that 
species, hardly one-tentli as long as the terminal claw. 
The outer egg-masses (see fig. 3 a) have much the 
same character as in the preceding species. The ova are 
exceedingly small and numerous. 
Oeeurrenee. On the coasts of Norway this species 
seems to be restricted to the Arctic region. I have, thus, 
not infrequently taken the animal in the Varangerfjord 
near Yadso, at a depth of from 60 to 100 fathoms. On 
the North-Atlantic Expedition numerous specimens were 
collected in divers localities; for instance, off Jan Mayen, 
in Advent Bay, Spitsbergen, and in the ocean off the north- 
west coast of Spitzbergen (Stats. 362, 363); depth from 
70 to 459 fathoms. I have, besides, had- sent me for ex- 
amination, several well-marked specimens from the Kara 
Sea, taken on Nordenskjold’s Expedition in 1875; depth 
from 10 to 80 fathoms. 
Distribution. The species seems to be widely dis- 
tributed throughout the Arctic Seas. It lias been met 
with off Frantz Joseph’s Land (Heller), in the Barents Sea 
(Hoek), the Kara Sea (Hansen), off Grinnel’s Land (Miers), 
and, as I suppose, also on the east coast of North-America 
(Wilson).

Specific Characters. Rather closely resembling the 
2 preceding species, but somewhat slenderer, and with the 
lateral processes farther apart. Cephalic segment longer 
than the 3 following segments taken together, neck thin, 
frontal part much expanded. Oculiferous tubercle exceed- 
ingly low, rounded. Proboscis shorter than the cephalic 
segment, narrow cylindrical. Chelifori very much elongated 
and slender; scape curved at the extremity; hand hardly longer 
than the scape, exceedingly arcuate and narrow, fingers same 
length as palm, point of the mobile finger incrassated in 
tuborculiform, and of the immobile one unguiformly incurvate, 
teeth on inner edge of the fingers, especially on the immobile 
.one, very unequal in size. Palpi exceedingly thin and elongated. 
2nd joint considerably longer than the 3rd, the 2 last joints 
equal in length and, taken together, hardly longer than the 
3rd. False legs in male about same length as the body, very 
thin, 5th joint longest and longer than the terminal part, 
marginal spines slender lanceolate and coarsely serrated
