TOW-NET GATHERINGS ON WEST €OAST OF NORWAY. 85. 
COPEPODA. 
Calanus finmarchicus. Very few. 
Nothing else was found in this sparse gathering. 
No. 10, June 27, 1888, 10 a.m. Open sea, two miles from 
3 shore, twenty-four miles north of Molde. Thick fog. 
Tow-net a foot below the surface for ten minutes. 
Ship at anchor. Collected just by the force of the 
drift of the small waves on the surface. 
COPEPODA. 
Calanus finmarchicus. Several. 
Pseudocalanus elongatus. One specimen. 
Dias longiremis. Several. — 
Here there seemed to be a shoal of Boadne nordmanni, 
the gathering being almost composed of them. 
No. 11, June 29, 1888, 3 p.m. Geiranger Fiord, con- 
siderably inland. Water had a good deal of fresh 
in it. Bright sunshine. Tow-net on the surface for. 
some time. 
This gathering I looked forward to with some interest, 
it being the only one of the collection taken at any 
considerable distance up a Norwegian fiord, and the water 
being brackish it was likely to contain some forms peculiar 
to that condition. The tow-net was also immersed for a 
longer period than on any other occasion, and the bright 
sunshine would be favourable in attracting the animal life 
to the surface. 
But in spite of these favourable conditions the result is 
almost nil. One amphipod, probably Gammarus neglecta, 
(possibly entangled in the tow-net and belonging to a 
previous gathering,) and an Ichneumon fly, accidentally 
submerged, being the only organisms found in it.
