ARMFÓTINGAR (BRACHIOPODA) í FØROYSKUM ØKI 111 la cranium, Mliller” (now Macandrevia cranium) from off the Faroe Islands in his account of these expeditions. According to the comprehensive monograph of recent brachiopods by the British brachiopod spe- cialist Dr. T. Davidson ”Waldheimia (Ma- candrevia) cranium, Miiller” was dredged many times by Jeffreys off the Faroe Is- lands during these expeditions (Davidson, 1886). Jeffreys (1878) also dredged the brachio- pod ”Terebratula septata, Philippi” be- tween Shetland and the Faroes. Davidson (1886), however, revised Jeffreys determi- nation of the brachiopod, referring it to ”Waldheimia septigera, Loven” (now pro- bably Dallina septigera). Later, Fischer and Oehlert (1891) men- tioned the occurrence of 1. ”Terebratulina caput-serpentis, Linne” "dans les parages des iles Færoe”, 2. ”Magellania septigera, Loven” dredged between the Hebrides and the Faroes, and 3. ”Magellania (Macan- drevia) cranium, O.-F. Miiller” also from off the Faroes. Fischer and Oehlert based this information on the results of the ”Lightning” and ”Porcupine” expeditions. They also reported an inarticulate brachio- pod, ”Crania anomala, Múller” from off the Faroes referring to the ”Lightning” ex- pedition (cf. Jeffreys, 1878). Posselt, in his posthumous published pa- per on the brachiopods and molluscs from Greenland (Posselt, 1898) mentioned the occurrence of three brachiopod species off the Faroe Islands, ”Rhynchonella psittacea (Gmelin)”, ”Terebratulina caput serpentis (Linne)” and ”WaIdheimia cranium (Mul- ler)”. Whereas the last two were said to be present in the collection of the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, the first was 'fide Mørch”, which means that Posselt did not actually see it in the collections. ”W. crani- um” (now Macandrevia cranium) was also recorded from between the Faroe Islands and Shetland. Friele and Grieg (1901), Hágg (1905) and Arndt and Grieg (1933) presented data from important expeditions in the North Atlantic during the period 1876-1900. However, their records of brachiopods from the waters surrounding the Faroe Is- lands are merely based on previously pub- lished material. Thus, both Friele and Grieg (1901) and Arndt and Grieg (1933) stated that the southern limit for the distribution of ”Rhynchonella psittacea” (now Hemi- thiris psittacea) was at the Faroes. This statement was probably based on the previ- ously mentioned record presented by Morch (1867). Pawsey and Davis (1924), however list- ed two brachiopod species, "Terehratulina caput serpentis (Linnaeus)” and "Macan- drevia cranium (O.F. Muller)”, from two fishery research expeditions to Lousy Bank and adjacent areas in 1920 (S/T ”Nicholas Dean”) and 1921 (R/V "George Bligh”). Only a few specimens were recovered. Helmcke (1939a) gave an account of the comprehensive collection of Professor F. Blockmann at the Zoological Museum in Berlin. A specimen (No. 934) of "Dallina septigera (Loven)” was listed as ”typen” from deep water (1000-1300m) south of the Faroe Islands. The paper did not, however, give any indication of who the legistrator was or the name of the expedition etc., but
