DISTRIBUTION: Parry Islands, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, and Spitzbergen (Thorson, 1944). The discovery of this species at Point Barrow materially extends its range westward. It is new to Arctic Alaska.
Approximately 25 specimens of this species were collected from depths ranging from 120 to 741 feet. The largest specimens (3.4 high by 3.8 mm. wide, and 4.3 by 4.7 mm.) came from 741 feet. The next largest (3.2 by 3.4 mm.) came from 477 feet and another of the same height came from 453 feet. The remaining specimens were small: 2 (1.5 by 1.8 mm.) from 420 feet; 1 (1.5 mm. high) from 453 feet; 5 (from 1.5 to 3.2 mm. high) from 175 feet; and 5 (from l,8 to 2,8 mm. high) were found among a foliaceous bryozoan at 120 feet on Sept. 15, 1949.
OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: Five specimens from Spitsbergen and eight from Greenland.
