Galeorhinus galeus (L.). Judging from the material of the 
Bg. M. and some records from the Bergen fish-market this species 
on the west coast of Norway seems mainly to occur during the 
summer and autumn (Aug.—-Octbr.). According to the statement 
of COLLETT (1905) specimens are known from all months of the 
year; from the winter he records, however, only two young 
individuals from the Kristianiafjord. The species is perhaps 
stationary at the great depths on our coast viz. the Skagerack 
and the Norwegian Channel. <A female of 1.3 m. total length 
caught in Septbr. 1895 in the Hjeltefjord (off Bergen) had, as 
stated by GRIEG (1896), apparently lately given birth to young. 
From OTTERSTRØM (1917) I refer the following data: The 
young ones are born in June—Septbr., having a length of 0.4 
m. at birth; in their first year they dwell near the coast. — The 
two young specimens from Kristianiafjord mentioned by COLLETT, 
the smallest one, taken "2. 1884, having a length of 0.63 m., 
may well be assumed to have been born in our waters.
