Locality (North Atl. Exped. ) : — The open.sea, west of 

 Beeren Eiland and Spitzbergen (fry); the Tana Fjord in Fin- 

 mark ; and the expanse of ocean stretching between Beeren 

 Eiland and Spitzbergen (young examples). 



Propagation of Species &c. — At several stations 

 on the two last voyages fry-specimens were taken at the 

 surface of the water in mid-ocean, some nearly 400 kilom. 

 from land. They were invariably captured in the sur- 

 face-net, together with' divers pelagic crustaceans and fry 

 of molluscs, and evidently drifted with the current from 

 one. part of the sea to. the other. Having been re- 

 peatedly observed in localities widely distant under pre- 

 cisely similar circumstances, this, peculiarity of occurrrence 

 can, hardly be explained as the result of accident alone,
