From the following list it seems to be fairly safe to conclude that the C. /.' in the month of 

 September is more common at night than in the day time at the surface, and that the stage IV— V is 

 the most common. In no sample I have examined more than 30 — 40 specimens; in the few ones 

 containing that number the percentage of the stage IV — V was greatest. Only a single fullgrown 

 female was found in a day sample. 



For drawing anv conclusion from the material from the Ingolf and the Thor F^xp. at the 

 present time the material is too scanty. , But it can not be denied that the percentage of uuiture spec- 

 imens is bigger in the August-June samples, and that propagating takes place about the month of 

 June, as fullgrown males or females with spermatophores were found '" ,, 1892 (Luudbeck Dyrefjord), 

 c. -% 1895 and -"/6 1904; no uiales were found Septendjer 1900. 



South of Iceland. In the Atlantic .south of Iceland from about 28° Long. W. to the F'ieroe- 



Chaniiel, and as far South as 60° Lat. North, the Ingolf Iv.xp. has '^'j— "^,'0 1895—96 taken about 55 

 samples containing C./.. and in August 1895 — 1896 about 10 samples.
