A further example of the patchiness of plankton distribution 1 1 



I once heard quite a well known planktologist say that it did not do to arrange 

 your stations in a survey too close together because it made it almost impossible to 

 use contour methods when charting the results; 1 don't think he realized the 

 significance of what he was saying. 



I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Dr. C. Cheng in the identification and 

 estimation of the copepods in these samples.
