In addition to the above, the annual dredging excursion of the 
Northumberland Coast Club gave us again the opportunity to carry 
out some dredging operations off the Tyne. As we may next year 
be in the position to greatly extend the work we have done in this 
direction, we propose withholding the records until we have the 
hoped for further material. 
We received on .July 24th, from Mr. J. Douglas, Beadnell, a 
quantity of the ova of the Angler enclosed in their peculiar gelatin- 
ous investment. Mr. Douglas said that the spawn was got in the 
herring nets about 15 miles out, and must have been floating about 
five fathoms below the surface. 
Captain Cappelman sent at our request, a bag of the Zoophyte 
material which he obtained in his trawl net 6 miles off' Whitby, on 
27th April. It may be taken as representative of the Zoophytes 
captured by the commercial trawler when fishing on the harder 
grounds. 
The gathering was analysed into tlie constituent species, and the 
resulting heaps were placed side by side and photographed. The 
picture is here reproduced, and serves to illustrate the proportional 
-Analysis of Zoophytes from six miles off Whitby.
