Plankton-type. The salinity and temperature prove that this 

 species is an oceanic form of the Styli-type. It occurs chiefly in the 

 eastern Atlantic, having once only been seen in the west, north of 

 South America. In March and April it occurred between the Azores 

 and the Engl. Channel, had is May advanced north of Kockall, in 

 June to the south coast af Iceland, whence it in August drifted 

 towards Greenland and the Shetlands. It occurs in the Indian 

 Ocean. — S.
