Sponge massive, laterally flattened, about 5 cm in height and 4 cm in width. Surface even. The consistency is dense, but quite elastic. The single osculum, surrounded by the short spicular collar, opens at the summit. Colour ash grey. One specimen examined. Skeleton (Figure 10 (c)). Skeleton of irregular form and composed of numerous disorderly scattered short spicula-bundles and single spicules. Only near the surface do bundles become arranged radially, forming a distinct brush of spicules. Spicules (Figure 10 (d)). Tylostyles often slightly sinuous, rather sharply pointed, with weakly pronounced basal swelling, dimensions: 264.7 – 313.3 – 363.7 ( n = 30) × 3.9 – 5.3 – 6.5 ( n = 20) µm. Distribution The Greenland and Norwegian seas, Barents Sea (south-west of Novaya Zemlya, near northern tip of Kanin Peninsula, Spitsbergen), East Siberian Sea (Bennett Island, st. A-30), Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Strait of Tartary.
