 faa Undtagelser nær, haves fra alle disse Stationer Cru- 

 staceer. Desuden er ved Hjælp af Overfladenettet indsamlet 

 pelagiske Former fra mange andre Stationer, som her ikke 

 er anførte. Paa de til Slutning anførte Kyststationer har 

 en mindre Skrabe været anvendt fra Baad af eller fra det 

 for Anker liggende Dampskib. 



De i Tabellen anførte Stationer er alle nøjagtigt af- 

 satte paa det vedføjede Kart. hvor tillige Dybdecur verne for 

 500, 1000. 1500 og 2000 Favne er optrukne som punkterede 

 Linier. Fremdeles er angivet paa Kartet en stærkere mar- 

 keret Curve, der betegner G-rændsen mellem den kolde og 

 tempererede Area, beregnet efter Bundtemperaturen. Denne 

 Curve danner tillige den naturlige Begrændsning for den ind-

 Norge og Island og i Form af en smal Kile ender i den saa-

 character of apparatus. With but very few exceptions. 

 Crustaceans were obtained at all of these Stations. More- 

 over, pelagic forms were collected with the surface-net at 

 many other Stations not included in the List. At the Coast 

 Stations enumerated in conclusion, a smaller dredge was 

 made use of, either from a boat or from the ship when 

 lying at anchor. 



The Stations enumerated in the List have all been 

 accurately set off on the annexed Map, in which the 

 curves of depth for 500, 1000, 1500. and 2000 fathoms are 

 drawn as dotted lines. In the Map will also be found a 

 more strongly marked curve. indicating the boundary line 

 between the cold and temperate areas, determined from the 

 observed bottom-temperatures. This curve also forms the 

 natural limit of the ocean valley — reaching 2000 fathoms 

 in depth and filled at the bottom with ice-cold water — 

 which shelves from the Polar Sea to the tract between 

 Norway and Iceland and in the form of a narrow wedge 

 terminates in the so-called Færoe-Shetland channel, where 

 it is cut off by a narrow transverse ridge from the great 

 depths of the Atlantic.
