North of Iceland. The East Greenland Expedition has in the region crossed from % 10 a. ni. 

 to 4/g 10 p.m. between 03.70° L.N. and 67° h. N. and between 17° L. \V. and 23° L. W. taken 27 

 samples (F. 284—310), of which only 8 (taken in the night) contained C. f.

The contrast to the previous group is well marked by the preponderance og stage I\' — V, and 

 by the fact that no nauplii were found (cf. p. 21 abotit their occurrence in Denmark iStrait). 



The Ingolf Exp. has from '7? — Vs 1896 collected 9 samples with Cf north and east of Iceland 

 (as far south as c. 65° north) and 17 from '""^V? between Jan Mayeu and north-east of Iceland (in- 

 cluding St. loi, 121 and 107). 



The S/S Thor lias in 1904 taken two samples with C. f. viz. -^/^ St. 214 67°i9 L. N. I7°55 L. W.

 f(^ was taken '"/^ 1896 and by the East Greenland Expedition near Jan Mayen ■/; 1900, and as Cope- 

 podites of stage I— II and nauplii of C. f.l were taken at several stations, there is reason to tliiuk that 

 propagating takes place in this region in the month of J id)'. 



Distribution etc. About the distribution of Cal. fii/iiiarr/iirns I refer to the able account of 

 Farran (191 1). It has "been recorded from the vSouth Atlantic off Cape Colony, the west coast of 

 North and South America, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Red Sea and the Polar Ocean." In 

 the Pacific it has been found ai)iiiidaiitly by Esterly in the r>ay of California. „ln the Nortli Atlantic 

 it is distributed over the whole of the area north of about 55" N." It is soinetimes found in great 

 numbers along the east-coast of North America and is, to the east, distributed as far as the western 

 part of the Baltic.
