Thus it comprehends the results from the surveying cruises of the Diana at Iceland and the Faeroe Islands, from the expedition to East- Greenland by Messrs.

Jensen in the investigation of the «Michael Sars in the North Atlantic during the summer of 1902 under the direction of Dr. Hjort, and from the cruise of the «Thor», the steamer for the international investi- gations of the sea, during the summer of 1903 under the direction of Dr. J oh. Schmidt; finally it includes also the material sent to our museum from Mr. Jonsson, district physician on the Yestman- Islauds, and by Mr. Miiller, agent in Thorshavu. Our knowledge of the Pennatulids rests in several respects on a rather slight footing; this holds good also for the apparently so well examined Scandinavian forms, in spite of the numerous and beautiful treatises which have appeared from Norwegian scientists. I have tried personally therefore to examine all the forms that have hitherto been described from the coast-regions of Scandinavia, as well as the forms from the territory adjoining the one which was investigated by the Ingolf . For this purpose I have examined the collections in Christiania, Bergen and Stockholm; from the museums in these towns I have received later all that I wished to examine more closely and to compare with our own material here in Copenhagen; for this great liberality I beg to offer my best thanks to Professors R. Collett and Hj. Theel, and to Conservators Dr. A. Appellof and Mr. J. Grieg. I have further had the opportunity at the British Museum of bringing into
