compartments, in which there had probably been eggs ; it belonged either to a Gasteropod 
or, as is more likely from the large size of the compartments, to a Cephalopod.” 
Moseley writes : “ One of the large Holothurians had a deep purple colouring 
matter, soluble in spirit and giving two absorption bands.”

Sagitta from the trawl, a few Cypridinidse, Calanids abundant, Hyperia , Primno. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ The Eupnmusise, very common on the surface near the ice? 
were scarcer in clear water, where the Copepod genera Calanus and Calanella 
\_ — Eucalanus \ were the most abundant animals.”
