(St. 15) 58° 08' N, 39° 24' W, 500 m. wire, 26—5—1908, 3 spec. 
(St. 9) 58° 33' N, 35° 55' W, 600 m. wire, 17—5—1908, 1 spec. 
(St. la) 59°25'N, 22° 56'W, 175 m. wire, 12-5-1908, 9 spec. (2 99 
witk ova). 
As recorded above 2 of tbe specimens from St. 1 a carry tkeir 
ova. In “On propagation and early development of Euphausiidæ 
in “Archiv for Mathematik og Naturvidenskab’’, vol. 20, 1898, No. 
11, p. 9, G. O. Sars mentions but 4 species carrying their ovisacs, 
viz. Nyctiphanes Couchii (see also H o 11 & T atter sal 1, Scbizop. from 
tbe N. E. Atlantic Slope, Ann. Rep. Fisk. Ireland, 1902—03, No. 4 
(1905) p. 104, PI. 17, fig. 2), N australis, Nematoscelis microps 
and Stylecheiron carinatum. Sars says “it is.... very probable, 
that tbese cases are quite exceptional, and that in tbe far greater 
number of Euphausiidæ tbe ova are at once ejected into the water . 
I have from the literature not been able to find later additions 
to Sars’ list.

Nematoscelis inegalops carries, as is sbown by the figure (fig. 2), its 
ova in an ovisac pointed in front; seen from below it seems to be
