 At the mouth of the Misvær Fiord, we got the dredging bag full 

 of Lithothamnia, in whose openings a multitude of animals were 

 hidden, there were ophuirides, asterides, worms, molluscs, crabs etc. 



Among these stone algae which are generally called „ ruggel" 

 by the Norwegian tishermen, many specimens of Chirolophis galerita 

 .were found. Some lumps of „ruggel" Avere left lying on the deck during 

 the night. The next morning, I broke up one of the lumps, and 

 a living specimen of Chirolophis came into view, it had — so to 

 say — spent a night on ,,di'y land". When at rest, this fish bends 

 the back part of its body sideways.
