Freyella sexradiata is therefore an East Atlantic species known up to present time only between 38° 8' and 45° 26'N. and between 9° 20' and 23°36'W. Bathymetrical distribution is 4020 to 4700 m. Beside it, the following species of the genus Freyella occur on the eastern side of the North Atlantic: F. edwardsi from the Bay of Biscay and west coast of Africa, 1786 m.

F. elegans between Nova Scotia and Cape Hatteras, 1115—3700 m. A Freyella was besides taken south of Iceland ("Thor" 1903, stat. 164, 62° 'N. 19°36'W„ 2093 m.), which according to Mortensen1), is closely relative to the last- named species. l) Schmidt: Fiskeriundersogelser ved Island og Faeroerne i som- meren 1903 (1904) p. 24.
