Nutting (1904 p. 71) who mentions the fact that the gonothecse in Sertu- laria Fabricii do vary, has not gone into the question of detail. The recent assignment of a previously undetermined specimen from the Kara Sea to Sertularia Fabricii suggests that we have here a circumpolar species, capable of penetrating somewhat down into the boreal areas. Further investigations will probably show the species to be more common in arctic waters than would appear from the data on record. Sertularia Fabricii doubtless belongs, strictly speak- ing, to the littoral region, but can, as shown by the finds at "Ingolf" St. 2, 3, and 4, also move some way down into the abyssal. The species has previously been recorded from Alaska and Puget Sound. Within the area investigated (fig. LXX) it is noted from West Greenland, Jan Mayeu, and the submarine ridges between Iceland and the Faroe Islands, where the fauna is of a mixed character.
