The shght number of hauls made at only a few metres depth is 
due to the fact that the irregular contour of the bottom in the shallows 
rendered navigation dangerous, as there was always the risk of running 
the motor boat upon a rock. And it may doubtless safely be said that 
this feature is largely responsible for the fact that the shallower por- 
tions of the Greenland coastal waters have been so little investigated. 
The depths about 300m. also frequently imvolved considerable 
difficulty, the dredge often getting hung up here, which is probably 
due to rough rocky bottom, or possibly large stones. At St. 38, we had 
to cut away the dredge with 350m. of line, to escape bemg run down 
ourselves by an ‘iceberg. 
2. Plankton. 
In addition to the plankton-net, which was used in several places 
at the surface, Nansen’s closing net and the ringtrawl were also em- 
ployed, working together, and also in conjunction with the water bottle 
and reversing thermometer; for hydrographical features, vide infra (p. 362). 
In order to determine at what depth the ringtrawl actually fished 
with a certain length of line, the Nansen-net was called into play at 
about the same places, and a comparison of the hauls made showed the
