The East-Greenlaud Expedition 1900 has in the Denmark Strait from %— "/g between 65° 

 Lat. North and 62°45 Lat. North, and between 35 and 26° Long. W. taken 50 samples (F. 312—366), 

 of which 30 contained C. f.\ the hauls were made each second hour day and night at the surface. 



From the following list it seems to be fairly safe to conclude that the C. /. in the month of 

 September is more common at night than in the day time at the surface, and that the stage IV— V is 

 the most common. In no sample I have examined more than 30—40 specimens; in the few ones 

 containing that number the percentage of the stage IV— V was greatest. Only a single fullgrown 

 female was found in a day sample. 



F'or drawing any conclusion from the material from the Ingolf and the Thor Exp. at the 

 present time the material is too scanty. But it can not be denied that the percentage of mature spec- 

 imens is bigger in the August-June samples, and that propagating takes place about the month of 

 Jime, as fullgrown males or females with spermatophores were found '% 1892 (Lundbeck Dyrefjord), 

 c. 20/5 1895 and 20/g 1904; no males were found September 1900. 



South of Iceland. In the Atlantic south of Iceland from about 28° Long. W. to the Faeroe- 

 Channel, and as far South as 60° Lat. North, the Ingolf Exj). has 'V5— 'Vs 1895—96 taken about 55 

 samples containing C./., and in August 1895 — 1896 about 10 samples.
