those we subsequently got in vast quantities off the North 
Coast of Norway were quite as large and were exceedingly 
active. The agitation of the smooth surface which we 
had seen may have been the result of their violent leaps, 
or possibly was caused by numbers of small fish fry Parsi 
ing and eating the Copepods. 
Between July Ist, when we entered the Kors Fjord, and 
July 20th, when I had to leave the ‘‘Argo” at Bergen, 
we coasted along the West and North of Norway to 
Sveerholtklubben (Porsanger Fjord), about 30 miles beyond 
the North Cape, and back again, dredging and tow-netting 
whenever opportunity permitted. During these twenty 
days we dredged in exactly 20 distinct localities lying be- 
tween Kors Fjord (Bergen) and the North Cape, some of 
them up fjords, some in the open, and ranging in depth 
from 10 to nearly 400 fathoms; while we tow-netted on 
26 occasions, generally on the surface, in the day, oc- 
casionally at or near the bottom (in no great depth), and 
sometimes at night. After I left, Miss Holt very kindly 
continued to take tow-net gatherings for me at the various 
places in the Sogne and Hardanger fjords where the ship 
stopped, and so brought back 10 additional bottles of 
“plankton,” in two of which Mr. Thompson found the 
specimens of the new Rotifer Anwrea cruciformis (see p. 
77). These 36 bottles of tow-nettings have been care- 
fully examined by Mr. I. C. Thompson, F'.L.8., and he 
has supplied me with detailed statements of the contents, 
from which the records which follow are compiled. 
Before giving the lists of localities, and of species, it may 
be remarked that among the more noteworthy forms 
obtained in the tow-net were:—Anurea cruciformis, n.sp., 
Temorella affins, Dias intermedius, Pontella wollastont, 
Stenhelia hispida, Thalestris helgolandica, T. peltata, and 
Scutelliditum fasciatum.
