The only locality on the coast of Ellesmere Land where I had a 
chance to dredge was Cape Faraday. In five to seven fathoms 
water, and from a sandy bottom covered with a rich vegetation of 
Laminaria and Fucus, I obtained a few animals not before met with 
on the Greenland coast of Smith Sound : e. g. an idotheid^ probably 
Glyptomtus Sabmiiy two or three species oi gammarids^ and Liparis. 
On our northward trip I also took the opportunity to dredge in the 
harbor of Godhavn. The result was very poor, and the few forms 
obtained have, no doubt, already been described. 
I used the surface-net at six stations during the voyage : in Davis 
Strait, off Fredrikshaab, in lat. 62° 30' N., July 13th ; off Tasiusak, 
the most northern “ udliggersted ” of Danish Greenland, some miles 
north of Upernavik, July 19th ; at Dalrymple Island, July 24th, and 
three times at different places in Inglefield Gulf. The result of the 
surface-gatherings off Tasiusak and Dalrymple Island was next to 
nothing ; only some dineftagellatSy diatoms^ copepods and other en~ 
tomostraca were secured. On the contrary, off Fredrikshaab, the 
net was filled with Limacina, copepods and oslracods, Zoea- and My- 
^2V-stages of decapods in great quantities. Not so numerous were 
small Clione, Cydippe, craspedoie meduscBy Salpa^ a hyperid, Cera- 
Hum and Appendicularia. 
The “plankton” of Inglefield Gulf was very rich. I found the 
evening to be the best time for using the surface-net ; at that time 
and, probably, during the whole night, if I may use such a word for 
that part of the day when the sun is lowest on the horizon, innumer- 
able masses of exquisite animals rise to the surface. We learned to 
expect the richest life near the places where the thousands of little 
auks were feeding on these organisms. In greatest profusion were 
Clione and Limacma^ copepods and ostracodsy four or five species of 
ctenophorSy five of craspedoie meduscBy one hyperidy two or three other 
amphipods and some larvae of decapods. More seldom I observed in 
the plankton SagittUy palcemonidSy schizopodsy a polycJioety two small 
fishesy hydroids on floating seaweed and Ceratium. Unfortunately I 
had no good opportunity on board the vessel to preserve the fine 
ccelenterats. Thus most of them are now much contracted and, 
of course, without their beautiful colors, which interfere with a sure 
determination. Nor had I time to describe or picture them alive. 
Although the collection secured through these few dredgings and 
surface-gatherings is not yet worked up, I judge it will be interesting 
to note the following list of the animals brought up in the dredge. By
