From the above it is impossible to draw any conclusions except that all stages occur fairly 

 frequently in the months of July and June. As mature males have been found in four samples (in 

 addition to the 2 mentioned: ■/;. St. 27. 64°54 L.N. 55°io L. W. V' 200 — o and ^fa/^. St. 26. PI. 25. 63''57 

 L. N. 52° L. W.), in the mouth of July it is safe to conclude that propagating takes place at that date. 

 From the North of Greenland Lundbeck and Bergeudal have 1889 and 1890 (^s— %) taken 7 

 samples, which all contained mature females. The other stages were less frequent. In the samples 

 from August and September the mature were found in comparatively few samples; in the two examined 

 samples, with numerous specimens, the stage IV formed the majority. 



Mature males were taken by Lundbeck "'/, 89 (57''o8 L.N. 49° L. W.); females with sperma- 

 tophores ^3/, 89 (59°i2 L.N. 52°05 L.W.I. In addition to these localities, males were taken by Soren 

 Hansen '7? 85 (59° L. N. 5i°i8 L. W.), and males are mentioned under the name of C. quinqueannulatus 

 by Kroyer from Greenland. 



Denmark Strait. The Ingolf Expedition has ^^Js—^^jb 1895 and ^s/g — ^Sj^ 1896 taken 28 samples 

 containing C. fuuiiarcliicns. The different stages were distributed in the following way. 



The S/S Thor has from '^-2% 1904 taken 14 samples containing Cal. /imiiarc/'iiciis with the 

 young-fish trawl from deep water, in addition to several from the surface, which have been examined 

 by Paulsen (cf. 1906 p. 10).
