It is rather cnrions that a large number of adult females, but onh- three young animals, from 

 three stations, were taken in the numerous sami^les brought home b\- the Ingolf and Thor from 'i/. 

 — 7t) north of 61° Lat. North. At four southern stations (Vb— ^\6 1905) the Thor gathered mature males 

 and young animals in addition to numerous adult females. 



Distribution. This species has been recorded from the Mediterrenean, the Indian Ocean, the 

 Pacific between 61' Lat. N. and 33° Lat. S., and the North and South Atlantic (as far south as 47° 

 Lat. S. 40° Long W.). 



In the North Atlantic (cf. Farran PI. XIV) it has been found on the south and west coast 

 of Ireland, in the Fseroe channel, north and cast of Shetland and occasionalh' in the North Sea as far 

 east as the coast of Norway. "In point of number it is generally scarce. Vertically it is recorded 

 from the surface down to 4000 meters." Esterly (1912 pp. 295—300) has on an extensive material 

 made it probable "that the species is more aljundant and more frequent abo\e 50 fatlioms by night 

 than h\ da^•."
