PELAGIC ANIMAL LIFE

Bonnevie, taken at the depths indicated by circles in Figs. 488 

 and 489. At Newfoundland it lived at the surface, but all the 

 way from Newfoundland to Ireland it was taken only below 

 750 metres. Its occurrence in only 50 metres on the coast 

 banks off Ireland is remarkable and important, showing that 

 this form occurs in shallow water, both on the eastern and 

 western sides of the North Atlantic, in cold and in warm water. 

 This distribution seems to be shared by Aglantha digitalis,

7\G. 4S9. — Vertical distribution of Clione limacina between Newfoundland 



AND Ireland. 



The encircled figures denote the number of individuals captured. 



which was taken on the Newfoundland banks at the surface, at 

 Station 80 in vertical hauls from 950 to 525 metres, at all the 

 deep stations farther east (for instance Station 92) at 1000 

 metres, but close to the slope of the coast banks of Ireland it 

 was taken only 100 metres beneath the surface. 



In the deep water of our northern section our pelagic 

 fishing appliances at, for instance, 1000 metres gave bathy- 

 pelagic Atlantic forms like Cyclothone inicrodon, Atolla bairdi, 

 Gigantocypris, Pelagonemertes, Pyrosoma, Acanthephyra, besides 

 boreal forms like Etick^sta norvegica, Aglantha digitalis, and 

 Clione limacina.
