Remarks on Myctophum glaciale (Reinh.). 15 
being made at the depth of each gear is heightened but nevertheless 
there remains a certain amount of uncertainty. 
There are some records of captures in appliances worked 
at the surface or within a few fathoms of it. Coast of Nordland 2, 
Faroe Channel (“Triton”, "Research”), Norwegian Sea 4, 15, 16. 
The following not deeper than abt. 100—130 metres: Norwegian 
Sea 14 and 2 (seven specimens in a night-haul) These records 
are of interest as the specimens caught in the fjords must have 
passed the relatively shallow coastal plateau (from whence few 
specimens are actually known) and, in most cases, also the sub- 
marine ridge barring the mouth of the deep fjord. 
With regard to the vertical range a special interest attaches 
to the vertical hauls made with closing-nets by the “Research” 
in the Faroe Channel. From the papers of Holt (1898) and 
Fowler (1898) I have compiled the following table.

1) In Fowler’s table this haul is not recorded; on the other hand he 
has a haul 13 ab, 300—0 fths., 33°—54° F. (0.5—12.2° C.), which probably 
should be regarded as the correct one. 
2) Fowler’s table has here 400—?. In a note to Holt’s table Fowler . 
temarks that the haul 13¢ is suspected of having closed nearer to the surface 
than the depth here recorded. The haul 13d. was according to Fowler 
from 400 to 270 fathoms. 
5 Holt’s table has 50—30; from the text (p. 559) and from Fowler’s 
table it is evident that it is a misprint for 500--0; this is also shown by the 
temperatures. 
4) Fowler records two hauls, 16a: from 350 to 220 fths. and 16 a2 
from 300 to i70 fths.
