BIGELOW: EXPLORATIONS IN THE GULF OF MAINE. 119 
phanes was taken at Stations 3, 7, 19, 25, 26a, 27, 32, in Eastport 
Harbor, and two miles southeast of Duck Island, Mt. Desert: 7. ¢., 
Massachusetts Bay, the coast of Maine, Jeffrey’s Bank, the region off 
Casco Bay, and both sides of the deep basin. The oceanographic 
data of the captures is as follows :— 
Station 25 surface temperature 56° salinity 32.34%po 
Eastport Harbor 
surface temperature 50° salinity about 32.5% 
Station 27 closing net 
40 fathoms temperature 45° salinity about 33.6% 
Station 32 surface temperature 57° salinity 32.51%o 
Station 26a surface | temperature 57° salinity about 31.4%p 
Off DuckIsland surface temperature 56° salinity about 32.3% 
Euthemisto compressa (Plate 5).— This common boreal amphipod 
occurred at twelve stations, so distributed as to show that it occurs 
generally over the Gulf. In Massachusetts Bay it was taken once 
(Station 44), and the records cover Platt’s Bank (Station 23), Jeffrey’s 
Bank (Station 25), off Cape Cod (Station 43), off Cape Elizabeth 
(Stations 19, 22, 26b), off Seguin Island (Station 40), off Mt. Desert 
Rock (Station 32), the Eastern Deep Basin, both off shore and near 
shore (Stations 27, 36), and the neighborhood of Lurcher Shoal (Sta- 
tion 31). It was not taken in the closing net, and the only two cap- 
tures for which the horizon is known give the following data:— 
Station 27 surface temperature 59° salinity 32.6% 
Station 32 surface temperature 57° salinity 32.5% 
The other captures are from open hauls from intermediate depths. 
The largest number were taken at Station 32, surface; Station 31, 
at 55-0 fathoms; and Station 43, 35-0 fathoms. It was not found 
on German Bank (Stations 29, 30). 
Clione limacina (Plate 5).— Apparently this large and striking 
species is not abundant anywhere in the Gulf, at least in summer, 
though it occurs in dense swarms in the Labrador Current and be- 
tween Norway and Spitzbergen. Although it was taken at nine 
stations, Nos. 2, 6, 7, 11, 14, 19, 22, 25, 32, 7. e., in Massachusetts Bay, 
off Cape Ann, between Jeffrey’s Ledge and the coast, off Casco Bay, 
over Jeffrey’s Bank and off Mt. Desert Rock, the total number of 
specimens was only sixteen, the most at any station, three; and it is 
such a conspicuous object in the tow, that it is not likely that any were 
overlooked. These stations are all near shore, the furthest out being
