specimens, 32—41 mm. — 5 specimens, 32—36 mm, have small 
undeveloped ovaries, testes reaching to the hind end of the tail 
but immature (group I). In one specimen, 39 mm, the ovaries 
are 14 mm, sperm partly evacuated (group IIb). One specimen, 
41 mm, belongs to group IV; the empty ovaries are 9!/2 mm. — 
Possibly these individuals have been captured in higher water 
layers during the hauling up of the net.

In some of the individuals of group Ilb the sperm is nearly 
evacuated, but there are still several unripe eggs in the ovaries; 
in other specimens most of the eggs are ripe, but there is still a
