Solaster papposus er ved de norske Kyster meget al- 
mindelig. Paa Expeditionen fandtes kun nogle faa Exem- 
plarer. Dens Hudskelet have vi undersøgt og komme se- 
nere at omtale dette. 
Den blev fundet ved Røst (Lofoten), men kun nogle 
meget smaa Exemplarer; paa Station 290, ligeledes nogle 
Unger, og endelig I voxent Exemplar paa Station 366; 
dens Udbredning er forresten: murmanske Kyst, Færøerne, 
Island, Grønland, Spitsbergen, Novaja Semlja, ved de bri- 
tiske og franske samt nordamerikanske Kyster.

Solaster papposus is very common on the Norwegian 
Coasts. During the expedition, only a few specimens were 
collected. We have examined its dermal skeleton, and will 
proceed to describe it later on. 
If was found at Rost (Lofodden Islands), but only a 
few very small specimens of it. At station No. 290 a few 
young specimens were also found, and, finally, at station 
No. 366, a full grown specimen was obtained. Its distrib- 
ution, otherwise, is. The Murman Coast. The Faroe Is- 
lands. Iceland. Greenland. Spitzbergen. Nova Zembla. 
The British Coasts. The French Coasts, and the North 
American Coasts.
