Depth to bottom more than 2000 metres. Young-fish trawl 500 
m. wire out. One specimen, 32 mm. (Bg. M.). 
12. "Michael Sars” stat. 46, 13-VII[-1900. 69° 13’N., — 
10° 40' E. Collett (1903 p. 115) mentions 7 specimens from 
this station, the position of which he gives as being 920 kilo- — 
metres west of Lofoten. The specimens had a total length of 35 
to 85 mm., and were taken with net from various depths between 
0 and 1000 metres. In a later paper Collett (1905 p. 44) re- 
turns to this catch, stating the specimens toihave been taken with 
net at the surface and the locality as 180 kilometres west of 
Lofoten. 
The position of stat. 46, as recorded here, I have taken from 
the ship’s journal. According to this *4 Scopelus miiller!” were — 
taken at this station in a haul with a large net from 950 metres 
depth; the net then was used for a horizontal haul, whence 
probably the other three specimens originate. Thus nothing can 
definitely be said about the depth of these catches. Three speci- 
mens from this station are now in the collections of the Kristiania 
Museum; these I have seen. a. 70 mm.; AO 6 + 7, 7-+ 6; pol. 
in correspondence herewith; D. 14, A.18. 6.40 mm.; AO6 + 6, 
6 — 6; a small infracaudal luminous plate. c. 29 mm.; AO 6+ 7 
on both sides; a very small infracaudal luminous plate, hardly 
discernible. Collett (1903) gives the following statement on the 
photophores; AO 6 + 7 in four specimens, AO 6 + ?, 6+ 5 and 
5 + 6 in the other three. I have never found the low number 
of 11 in AO — this is moreover characteristic of the Mediterra- 
nean race of the species — and must therefore question the 
correctness of Collett’s statement. The specimen b. is probably 
one of the specimens with the low number in AO; it has cer- 
tainly AO 6-++ 6.
