Dr. Petersen's Table, which is here reproduced in its entirety (Table 

 V.), shows the results of a series of hauls made with different kinds of 

 gear, and at various depths, as specified for each column. On this

 are proportionately most abundant in the deeper water, while the smaller 

 are found at a less depth, and in this respect the Table is of value.
