In spite uf the comparatively large number of samples the 

 number of species did not amount to more than 27, but on 

 the other hand most species were represented by a very large 

 number of individuals. Of these copepoda only 63 per 

 cent were found off the west coast, which may be accounted 

 for by the fact that the latter were collected along the bottom 

 at a considerable depth. 



Of the species noted above the Agulhas Bank 



78 per cent, have been found in the Mediterranean. 

 41 ,, ,, ,, ,, tropical Atlantic. 



63 ,, ,, ,, ,, temperate Atlantic. 



48 „ ,, ,, „ north of the Faroe Channel, 



in the North Sea and along the coasts of Scandinavia.
