COPEPODA 



My material from Ingolf and the few samples from Thor confirm Paulsen's result that the 

 propagating in this region takes place in the beginning of May. It is rather curious that a single male 

 was found in September. Compared to the May samples those from September show a preponderance 

 of Stage IV— V. 



South-West of the Faeroes. In the Atlantic, South-West of the Fseroes, about 8 samples with 

 C.f. were taken 3°/ 5 — 2% 1905 by the Thor.

In addition to the two mentioned localities a male was found ( 2 4/ 6 49 E. N. 12 E. W.), and 

 females with spermatophores (3°/ 5 59°49 E. N. 8° E. W.). Propagation accordingly takes place as far 

 South as 47 Eat. North 2I /6- In this connection ought to be mentioned that the S/S Thor (St. 223 B. 

 x 7/ 3 1904) at Thyboron, Denmark, has taken 50 f$, 5 fo*, 10 (V), I (IV); and that Rink l8 / 3 1858 has 

 taken 1 f <?, 12 f?, 16 (V), 5 (IV), 1 (III) at the Orkney Islands. 



South-East of the Faeroes. The Ingolf Expedition has South-East of the Fseroes, as far South 

 and East as 57°53 E. N. 7^9 E. E. from 5-7/ 5 1895 and 4-% 1896, taken 10 samples containing C. f, 

 and from IO-I 5/8 1895 and T 9/ 8 1896 9 samples; they were almost all taken with Cyl. and contained 

 generally 10—30 specimens (cf. tabula).

In the May samples from the Ingolf the different stages seem to be equally well represented 

 in contrast to those from August, in which the stages IV— V are best represented. In this region the 

 Thor has in 1905 collected some fullgrown males viz: 1 f o*, 2 (V) ( 2I / 7 1905 St. 120 59°54 Eat. N. i°i9 

 Eong. E.), 1 fd\ 2 (V) {'7/ 7 1905 St. 119 59^4 Eat. N. 4°oo Eong. E. Yt. 500 M. W.), 1 f d\ 15 f?, 12 (V) 

 (% J 905 57°33 Lat. N. 4 ° 2 6 Eong. E.). 



The East Greenland Expedition 1900 has 2 9/ 9 _ 3°/ 9 (59°33 E. N. to 59 E. N.; 3°24 E. W. to o°o5 

 E. W.) (F: 431 — 453) collected 23 samples, of which only 4 day-samples contained a few specimens of 

 C.f. (cf. tab.).
