The distribution of Calanus finmarchicus, as described in the preced- 

 ing notes and shown by the annexed tabular arrangement of the number 

 of records, is more uniform throughout the six stations than that of 

 Parathemisto. It may be observed that there is a tendency towards an 

 increase in the number of records during the earlier months, and also to 

 a small extent during the later months of the year, but this tendency 

 shows itself principally in the greater number of double records for these 

 months : that is, records which include both the bottom and surface 

 tow-net gatherings. This is shown more clearly by the Table.
