Egg investigations off Lofoten, in 1913. 
Having occasion to again investigate the occurrence of eggs on the Lofoten banks, 
I made a series of hauls, not only in the manner described by HEnsen, but also, in part, 
with the net constructed by him. The catches, which consisted almost exclusively of 
cod eggs, were counted, and the number of eggs per square metre surface calculated. 
Several cruises were made, the same spots being investigated several times. A number

of, the results obtained will be found in Figs. 52 and 53. Fig. 52 shows the hauls 
from 25th February to 2nd April, Fig. 53 those made later in April. The date and number 
of eggs are noted for each station. The first vertical hauls were made from East Lo- 
foten, from Henningsvær out over the bank to the edge (100 fathom line) on the 25th Fe- 3 
bruary. No eggs, or only very few (3) were found in these hauls (Fig. 52). During the ; 
first half of March the number of eggs from East Lofoten increased somewhat, (65, 75) | 
more, however, being found on the western side, where hauls made on the 11th March
