Both, however, are apparently entirely lacking along the east coast of Greenland south of 76° N. This may be due to paucity of investigations, but it would seem likely that the reason is rather to be sought in the fact that the water, owing to extensive interming- ling of fresh and ice-cold glacier water is poor in suitable forms of nourishment, and unfavourable to the growth of hydroids generally. Altogether, only a very few hydroids have been found along the range in question, the finds in question invariably consisting of but few and small colonies. The apparent absence of the mentioned species in North Iceland waters, on the other hand, would seem 200 m. 600 m. 1000 m. 2ooom. Fig. XCII.

The frequent occurrence of the species round all the remainder of Iceland's coast shows that the range in question must as a whole be included in the boreal area; there is no indication of warmer tendency at any place on the true coastal banks here. The ridge between Iceland and the Faroe Islands, and the waters round the latter down to 600 metres' depth must be taken as belonging to the boreal region, as also the western Scottish waters. The North Sea also is boreal, and the Norwegian coast to the extent shown on the chart. Before concluding th
