AL 
(stat. 403—412) brought chaetognaths in abundance; the preserved 
specimens belong to $. maxima and E. hamata, From the pelagic 
stations of the following days, over Lille Hellefiskebanke, no chaeto- 
gnaths have been noted. — On the journey towards the south "a 
few Sagittas" were noted from stat. 424 on Lille Hellefiskebanke 
and stat. 425 between this and Fylla's Bank. A cruise outside the 
1000 m line (stat. 432—435) brought up large quantities of fthe 
usual large and small Sagittas". 
From June Ilth to August 4th was particularly devoted to bot- 
tom-fishery near the coast and in the fjords from Fiskernæs to 
Julianehaab. The few pelagic hauls in the upper strata brought no 
chaetognaths. But three hauls (stat. 503, 545, and 583) demon- 
strate that Sagitta elegans may be found in great abundance in 
the deeper strata in certain fjords, as also Eukrohnia hamala pene- 
trates into the deeper parts of these fjords. 
South of Northern Storø (stat. 503) two hauls were made: by 
a haul with 100 m wire no chaetognaths were found, while a haul 
with 250 m wire brought up a considerable number of $. elegans 
and some E. hamata. This is very interesting, as at this locality 
the temperature was negative in the deepest water layers (100 m 
=— 09.18, 175 m — 091) but positive in the upper strata (50 m 
+ 0%42) though always below 1? except just at the surface. The 
salinity was in 175 m 33.6 9/00, in 100 m 33.2 %00, in 50 m only 
32.5 "/00. Thus we see that these species may occur at a very low 
temperature, but avoid water of low salinity. 
In Bredefjord (stat. 545, July 21st) the temperature was below 
1? from at a short distance below the surface down to a little 
more than 150 m; the salinity was 25.46 "/oo at the surface in- 
Creasing to 33.80 ”/oo in 150 m. From about 200 m to the bottom 
(685 m) the temperature was more than 3? and the salinity more 
than 34 9/40, i. e. the deeper parts of this fjord are occupied by 
Water of the same temperature and salinity as in the atlantic water 
in the deeper parts of the Davis Strait. At this station large quant- 
ities of S. elegans and not a few E. hamata were captured by a 
haul with 325—400 wire. 
In Skovfjord, north of Julianehaab (stat. 583, August 4th) we 
find similar facts, though the temperature did not reach 3” even 
at the bottom (200 m: temp. 19.6, sal. 33.8 ”/00; 320 m: temp. 29.3,
