From deep water 7 specimens were captured of this beautiful 
species. The gonads, the stomach and the tentacles are splendidly 
orange (the specimens are preserved in formaline); in some spec¬ 
imens the large eggs are seen in the gonads. The jelly is very 
thick, fully as thick as the depth of the bell cavity; there are 
15 —is tentacles. The specimens in hånd have the folio wing sizes 
(as far as preserved medusæ can be raeasured):

Levinsen records this species from Disco Bay. The “Tjalfe” 
has taken it, rather sparingly, during July and August 1908 in 
Umanak Fjord, Disco Bay, off Holstensborg, and in Godtkaab Fjord.
