witli a sufficiently close-meshed apparatus, e. g. yoaug-fish trawl. Each of the 

 lists on p. 65 is based on the catch of a single liaul with the young-fish trawl. 



We found the bottom-stages in very great uumbers in the western Baltic, 

 as will be seen from the accompanying journal extracts. A considerable number 

 of the bottom-stage was also taken in the true Baltic. 



D. .3 — 7 — 02. Hestehoved in W. N. W., 12 fm. Young-fish trawl on bottom, 10 minutes: 

 Ca. 800 boftomtaffes of Lumpenus, 83 older specimens of same species and a nnmher of other fishes. 



This station lies to the south of Møen. We have often taken the Lum- 

 penus further to the east in the true Baltic, both the bottom-stages and the older 

 specimens, and in considerable numbers At Bornholm in 1901 a young specimen 

 in the bottom-stage was taken along with a number of older specimens of the 

 same species.

 we have several times takeu single specimens of the bottom-stage at suitable 

 localities in the Kattegat:
