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 Bohuslan.^ For instance, Cuctunaria froiidosa, a littoral echinoderm common on the North Sea coast, has not been met with in the Skagerrack, and Ophiocoma nigj^a is very rarely found in the latter area. Echiims acutiis occurs in enormous quantities on the North Sea coast, but is extremely. Fig. 346. Psoitis squamatus, Koren. rare on the Skagerrack coast, while the mussel, Lima kians, has not been met with on the Bohuslan coast of Sweden, though in certain localities of the Norwegian west coast it is one of the most characteristic forms of the littoral fauna. 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 Echmocardium cor datum is seldom found, and then only in a few special localities, whereas in Bohuslan it seems to be one of the ^ Theel, " Om utvecklingen af Sveriges zoologiska hafsstation Kristineberg och om djurlifvet i angrjinsande haf och fjordar," Arkiv. f.
