In the case of the hydroids, the data on record furnish valtuible hints, as will be seen from the following. Theoretically speaking, the northern limit of the boreal region should be drawn as the bound- ary where southern species of general occurrence in northern waters cease their northward progress, while similarly, the southern limit should mark the extreme margin of the arctic-boreal species' distri- bution. It should, moreover, constantly be borne in mind that the boreal area is decidedly a 'mixed' â¢â 2 00 n). boom. 2 ooo m. Fig. XC.

These three are practically never found in true arctic waters; where finds have been made, it was always at places where north-going cur- rents render the limits uncertain, or where the varying conditions of the coastal water afford southern species a precarious refuge in some isolated spot within the arctic seas. At such places we may en- counter, for instance, scattered colonies of Dynatiie
