The lemou dab and, especially, the long rough dab are Ihe ouly 

 fiat-fishes that occur more frequently. 



The common cod, however, is pretty ofteu met with, especially the 

 large specimens; this is the case also with the haddock. Whitings and 

 hakes, on the other haud, go out here more rarely, while now aud then we 

 meet with the small forms Gadus Esmarkii and Gadus minutus. Onos cimhrius 

 is common, and we find Lycodes here in great uumbers, though represented 

 only by one species: Lycodes gracilis. At several piaces one of the rays, Raja 

 radiata, is common, and the hag also occurs in great multitudes. 



Among the lower animals Brissojisis lyrifera is prominent on account of 

 the huge masses in which it occurs. Of other echinoderms occurs, for instauce 

 the serpent-star [Ophioglyplia Sarsii). 



Of the crustacea we find the large red deep-sea prawn Pandedus horealis, 

 aud other species, as also Hippolyte securifrons in great uumbers; but these 

 fragile animals are generally quite crushed or in other ways destroyed during 

 the seining, by being rolled about among Brissojms and clay. Lithodes maja 

 is seeu now aud theu. 



The bivalves Leda permda and Niiada sidcata occur frequently on this 

 locality.
