The first four localities are situated between Iceland and the Faroe Islands, with the exception of station 64, which is situated south of Iceland; the two localities from the cruise of the < Michael Sars» are in the Faroe-channel. At the first four localities only fragments and loose papillae were obtained, at the last ones on the other hand three specimens. As appears from the above the bottom temperature is negative at most localities, and only positive at stations 4 and 64. From station 64 we have only a quite damaged fragment, which may very well have been dragged in the trawl from an earlier station. From station 4, on the other hand, we have a fresh fragment; this station with a depth of 237 fathoms, is situated on the ridge between the northern, cold depth and the southern depth, so it may well be understood that the species may occur here. I suppose that the specimen in question is a fragment, but it might also be a quite young individual, in which latter case there might be the possibility that the specimen would not have attained its full development on this locality. Gcogr. distr. The species has been taken by the Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition, partly between Iceland and the Faroe Islands or a little farther north, partly off the Norwegian coast, at the two first places at depths of 299 and 1163 fathoms, at the la
