We see, therefore, that the fauna in the continental (archibenthal) deep - sea area of the Northern At- lantic consists partly of species peculiar to it, and partly of others that regu- larly belong to the con- tinental deep-sea fauna of the Norwegian Sea. Two questions arise: How is the Atlantic archibenthal (and abyssal) fauna distri- buted outside the Nor- wegian Sea.' Is there any real resemblance between this fauna and its counterpart in the cold area of the Norwegian Sea? There seem to Limits of the be some reasons for j;;''''' fixing the lower limit of the archi- benthal fauna at about 2000 metres, and the upper limit at about 800 or _ 1000 metres. The jt \| \| V V - charts of the area 'slSr south of the ridges Kj published by the Danish ' Ingolf ' Expedition show that beyond 2000 metres the slope of the bottom becomes less steep downwards to the vast abyssal plain whose upper limit may be put some-
