86 LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
No. 12, July 4, 1888, 8 a.m. Near entrance to Sogne 
Fiord. Bright sunshine. Ship at anchor close to 
shore. Tow-net in water fifteen minutes, two or 
three feet below surface and on surface, caught by 
drift from wavelets. . 
COPEPODA. 
Dias longirems. A few specimens. 
Very little material resulted, and, strange to say, no 
specimens of Calanus; Hvadne nordmanni and several 
larval Crustacea, together with a number of fish ova, 
constituted the gathering. . 
No. 18, July 7, 1888, 2 p.m. West of Rum, Scotland 
(not included in report). 
In conclusion I must express my own cordial thanks and 
that of the Society to our colleague Mr. Ryley for fur- 
nishing us with this interesting and valuable collection. 
If others who may have the advantage of yachting, or 
other sea voyages, would take charge of a tow-net to use 
as occasion allows, they will find an additional zest 
imparted to their pleasure, and sometimes, possibly, a 
relief to monotony, and may be largely instrumental in 
adding to the scientific knowledge of our marine surface 
fauna.
