Bank. As long as the ship was above deep water, chaetognaths 
were found in large quantities. Still on the western slope of the 
bank fmany small Sagittas" (probably E. hamata) were taken. 
East of the bank ”"a few small Sagittas" were captured, but within 
the area of the bank (within the 200 m line) where the cold and 
comparatively brackish water reaches the bottom, chaetognaths were 
completely absent. 
Stat. 43—64 are from Godthaab Fjord, mostly bottom-fishery ; 
some pelagic hauls were made, but no chaetognaths were found. 
In this fjord the temperature had its minimum about 100 m below 
the surface, increasing from this depth towards the bottom but 
never reaching 1YC. The salinity had its maximum at the bottom 
Dditnever: exceeded 33,5 Yoo. —- Stat. 65——70. are; from Fylla's 
Bank; no chaetognaths were found. At the stations 71:73, 74, and 
76 just west of the bank numerous specimens of $. maxima and 
E. hamata were brought up, particularly from the deeper strata 
where the salinity was more than 34 9/9. 
The course was now directed towards the north over the banks 
(Lille Hellefiskebanke, Store Hellefiskebanke) via Holstensborg to 
Egedesminde with bottom-fishery and some pelagic hauls. The 
pelagic stations until 107 have all been taken within the 200 m 
line. Chaetognaths have only been noted from two stations (79 and 
81), both from Lille Hellefiskebanke. Unfortunately the specimens 
have not been preserved. 
The cruise was continued via Godhavn to Jakobshavn with 
Several pelagic hauls off the south-eastern coast of Disco. Chaeto- 
gnaths were never found except at the stations 124 and 125, but 
here they constituted the bulk of the plankton. Unfortunately only 
the material from stat. 124 was preserved. It was taken by the 
ringtrawl with 150 m wire (about 100 m below the surface, temp. 
11 ass sal 3302/09). Sagitta elegans which here appears for 
the first time during the cruise, makes the bulk of the catch; 
here also a few E. hamatu were found. Stat. 125 was -taken in 
the same locality and with the same net but with 550 rå wire, 
about 350 m below the Surface, temp. 09,9, sal. 34.19%/00). It would 
have been of great interest to see, whether the facts in this locality 
had been a parallel to the facts in Umanak Fjord as mentioned 
below, i. e. whether the bulk of the chaetognaths captured in the 
deeper stratum with higher salinity had belonged to E. hamata.
