Thus several forms that abound on the west coast of Norway are absent from the Skagerrack coast, if we may judge from my observations at Risor in Norway compared with the researches of Theel at Kristineberg in For instance, Cucumaria frondosa, a littoral echinoderm common on the North Sea coast, has not been met with in the Skagerrack, and Ophiocoma nigra is very rarely found in the latter area. Echinus acutus occurs in enormous quantities on the North Sea coast, but is extremely Fig. 346.

On the other hand, the Skagerrack coast is the home of certain littoral forms which occur but rarely on the coast of the North Sea. Thus on the west coast of Norway Echinocardium cor datum is seldom found, and then only in a few special localities, whereas in Bohuslan it seems to be one of the 1 Theel, ' Om utvecklingen af Sveriges zoologiska hafsstation Kristineberg och om djurlifvet i angransande haf och fjordar,' Arkiv. f.
