Summary of the Contents. 
On a sudden multitudinous occurrence of Sepia- 
shells at the Faroes in the spring 1923. 
I. In the spring 1923 a great number of shells of Sepia of¬ 
ficinalis L. were washed ashore in several places at the Far¬ 
oes. The first shells were observed on February 13th, the last 
on May 25th 1923. The total number of shells at all the is- 
lands must be estimated at many thousands. In small inlets 
about 50 shells were washed ashore on certain days. 
II. In appearance the shells are very much like those some- 
times washed ashore on the western coast of Jutland. The
