a very strange finding, as this species has never otherwise been met with in the Danish 
waters. Since the nearest known localities of this subarctic species are the Trondhjems- 
Fjord and the Færåe Islands, and as the specimen is quite normal and bears no 
sign of haying been drifting for a long time in the Sea, I consider it most probable 
that the specimen in question, which has not been labelled by Mr. Smith, has 
been intermixed by an error among the Alge found at the coast of Store Belt. 
I am much indebted to Dr. HENNING E. PETERSEN who has helped me in 
making microphotographs, to Lector J. BoyE PETERSEN for having kindly photo- 
graphed a number of dried specimens reproduced in the text, and to Mr. SØREN 
Luxp who has assisted me on several excursions. By the kindness of the authorities 
of the Fishery Department I have had the opportunity of making researches onboard 
in various boats belonging to the Fishery Control and Fishery Researches, for which 
permission I tender my best thanks. And finally I owe a debt of gratitude to the 
trustees of the Carlsberg Fund for a grant which has enabled me to defray various 
expenses in connection with the present part of my work.
