DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN 



Our collections of minute crustaceans, especially Copepoda, 

 are very extensive, but their examination will take a long time. 

 In order to give some information about the distribution of 

 these interesting forms, I asked G. O. Sars to determine the 

 species contained in some of our closing-net hauls, and selected 

 samples from certain stations (see Fig. 487), which I believed 

 to be specially characteristic, viz. two stations in the Sargasso

 DRAWN UP. [Station 6o should be 63.] 



Sea (50, 63), one station off the Newfoundland banks (80), one 

 station off Ireland (92), and one station in the Norwegian Sea 

 north of the Wyville Thomson Ridge (113). Before referring to 

 Sars' determinations (see list, pp. 654-5) I may indicate the tem- 

 peratures at the various depths where the nets were towed : —
