538 CONCLUSIONS. 
proceeds, the sea-serpents look for an other provender place, or 
swim to a warmer part of the ocean, i.e. they migrate. . 
And so we come to their horizontal geographical distribution. 
We may at once assert that they are cosmopolites though we have 
not a single report of an appearance at a higher degree than 46° 
S. latitude, i. e. they have not been met with in the Antarctic 
Ocean. 
Up to this time the animals have appeared 1. In the Aretic 
Ocean, and 2. In the Atlantic Ocean. 
a. All along the coasts of Norway from North Cape up to the 
boundary of Norway and Sweden, east of Christiania fjord (1, 3, 
A, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; °138, 14, 57, 58, 615~64, ‘Cossoteaiane

Of the whole coast of Norway that of the northern provinces 
(washed by the Arctic Ocean) seems to be frequented more than 
that of the southern (p. 130). It seems that they appear ge 
these coasts almost every year. 
6. Along the coasts of Sweden, from the boundary of Nanpas 
and Sweden, east of Christiania fjord, to the southmost point of 
Sweden, Falsterbo. I have but one report (2), and the locality of 
the appearance of the animal I have supposed to have been in the 
Sund near Malmo. 
c. In the Baltic or Swedish Sea. According to Onraus Maenus 
it is also recorded from this sea, but I think that this happens 
no more. 
d. North of Scotland: between Iceland and the Faroe Isles (124), 
between the Faroe Isles and the Hebrides (56, 153, 154), and near 
Dunvossness, one of the Shetland Isles (78). 
e. On the eastern coast of Scotland (141, 142, 148). 
jf. Along the western coasts of Scotland, Wales and England 
(31,.32, 82, 187, 188, 140, 155, 156). 
. A hundred miles west of Brest, France, (152). 
. In the Gulf of Biscay (74). 
. West of Portugal (120). 
. In the Mediterranean (148). 
. North-east of the Azores (25). 
. South of the Azores and west of the Canaries, 29° N., 34¢ 
W (128). 
m. From the Canaries to Cape Verde (1385). 
m. In a line from Cape Verde to the Cape of Good Hope and
