No more pelagic hauls were made until in the Umanak Fjord 
on August 6th, when four hauls were made in different depths. 
At the deepest haul (800 m wire, temp. ca. 17, sal. ca. 34.5 "/00) 
Sagitta maxima and Eukrohnia- hamata were taken in abund- 
ance. In the material from the next haul (450 m wire, temp. ca. 
0'.5, sal. ca. 34.1 %/00). S. elegans was the dominating species. The 
few specimens brought. up by the third haul (150 m wire, temp. 
ca. — 09,4, sal. ca. 33.6 00) are considered to have remained in 
the net from the previous hauls. By the fourth haul (50 m wire) 
no chaetognaths were taken. 
During the voyage towards the south to Egedesminde chaeto- 
gnaths were only found at two stations (178 and 179) near the 
west-coast of Disco, viz. 2 specimens of $. elegans and one non- 
preserved specimen. 
On August 17th the ship left Egedesminde. A little west of 
this place a large number of S$. elegans and some E. hamata were 
Captured by a haul with 350 m wire (temp. ca. 09.5, sal. 33.s %/00). 
Then the ship went towards the south fishing near the coast and 
over the banks taking numerous stations including pelagic hauls 
and bottom-fishery. The temperature decreased, as a rule, from 
4—5" at the surface towards 0? at the bottom. Chaetognaths did 
not occur one single time during this part of the cruise. But when 
returning into the Atlantic (stat. 276, September 27th, salinity at 
the surface 34.3 %/%) we find once more E. hamata and S. maxima 
in great numbers, exclusively young individuals. From almost all 
Stations south-west of Cape Farewell and on the journey eastwards 
in the Atlantic chaetognaths have been noted in the journal, and 
in several cases they constituted one of the most important items 
of the plankion. Most specimens were found in the deeper strata, 
but they also occur at the surface. In one case (stat. 297) "many 
Small Sagittas" have even been found in a surface-water haul 
with the plankton-net. — The last station of the cruise is stat. 
300, on Oct. 6th. ? 
In 1909 the cruise was commenced somewhat earlier than the 
Previous year, the first station being taken on April 25th at Lat. 
609 10'N, Long. 28% 13' W. On the journey towards the west 
chaetognaths were taken, as in 1908, by almost every haul, spar- 
ingly and "small" (i. e. Eukrohnia hamata) at the surface, and
