Moskenstremmen, 90 in.; The Tys Fiord I, 500 in.; Sunder© 

 (1897) in the stomach of cod. 



According to Ki.ki;. 1 ) the species occurs all along the coast 

 of Norway. It has however, probably never before been collected 

 at a depth of 500 m. At several places in Lofoten, 1897 in 

 March and in April, I found Ciona in the stomach of cod. 



Aseidia gelatinosa, Kjuer. 



Mortsund I. 200 m.; Tranodybet, 007— (340 m.; Oxsund, 600

Hartmeyer 2 ) mentions this species as being found at Tromso. 

 which is, I believe, its most northerly locality.

 was so abundant that it almost filled the dredging-net after a 

 short draw.

Kler 3 ) w r rites: ./Found only in Komag Fiord, Ox Fiord and 

 at Vadso." This species must be considered as an arctic one. The 

 Skjerstad Fiord is its southern limit, as far as is now known.

Chirolophis galerita, Lix. 



■ , 1900, The Skjerstad Fiord N. LO— 30 m. (several specimens). 

 At the mouth of the Misvser Fiord, we got the dredging bag full 

 of Lithothamnia, in whose openings a multitude of animals were 

 hidden, there were ophuirides, asterides, worms, molluscs, crabs etc. 



Among these stone algae which are generally called ,,ruggel" 

 by the Norwegian fishermen, many specimens of Chirolophis galerita 

 were found. Some lumps of „ruggel" were left lying on the deck during 

 the night. The next morning, I broke up one of the lumps, and 

 a living specimen of Chirolophis came into view, it had - so to 

 say -- spent a night on ..dry land". When at rest, this fish bends 

 the back part of its body sideways.

 of their stomachs, we also bought some for the same purpose. On
