Description

This variety of B. glaciale seems confined to the Bering Sea region and many specimens reach a length of 80-85 mm., while I have one 95 mm. in length from Atka Island, Aleutian. Mr. Hirase, however, has reached the other extreme by sending a specimen, quite mature and characteristic, which is probably a male and measures only 26 mm. long. It is from Iteruo Island of the Kuril group. Both the names previously given to this variety were preoccupied for other species. (Dall.)
TYPE in United States National Museum. Type locality, Bering Sea.
RANGE. Pribilof and Aleutian Islands to Cook's Inlet; also Kuril Islands
