The East-Greenland Expedition 1900 has in the Denmark Strait from 8 / 9 22 / 9 between 65 

 Lat. North and 6245 kat. North, and between 35 and 26 Long. W. taken 50 samples (F. 312366), 

 of which 30 contained C. /.; the hauls were made each second hour day and night at the surface. 



From the following list it seems to be fairly safe to conclude that the C. f. 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 3040 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 any conclusion from the material from the Ingolf and the Thor Exp. at the 

 present time the material is too scanty. But it can not be denied that the percentage of mature 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 l6 / 6 1892 (Lundbeck Dyrefjord), 

 c. 20 / 5 1895 and 2 % 1904; no males were found September 1900. 



South of Iceland. In the Atlantic south of Iceland from about 28 Long. W. to the Fseroe- 



Channel, and as far South as 60 Lat. North, the Ingolf Exp. has I2 / 5 16 /6 189596 taken about 55 

 samples containing C.f., and in August 18951896 about 10 samples.
