One specimen only, 12mm. long, was taken, this being found in

Pleuronectes limanda UL. 
Post-larval dates are exceptionally well represented in the 1914 
material. Already at the end of April when the collection began 29 
and 37 specimens were obtained in one haul. The maximum abundance 
was reached in May, and in three hauls taken off the Eddystone on 
May 25th, 290, 276, and 508 individuals were captured. It is worth 
noting that these three hauls were taken during the dark hours of the 
night, between 10.25 p.m. and midnight. During June the numbers 
obtained fell off rapidly and after the 2nd July no more specimens were 
obtained. During June also the most prolific hauls were made at night. 
The details of the captures for 1914 are shown in Table XXI., whilst 
Table XXII. gives monthly summaries of the hauls made during the 
period 1906-14. 
Pleuronectes macrocephalus Donov. 
Although no young merry-soles were taken until May 15th the captures 
reached a maximum before the end of that month, falling off during
