bottom, such as haddock and cod, appear to have no partiality for any 
particular species, but the stomachs of herring, especially of those taken 
on the East Coast, are found occasionally filled with species of Hyperiide 
to the exclusion of everything else, Hyperia galba and Parathemisto 
oblivia being the two generally observed. Of course the Hyperiide are 
exclusively pelagic iw their habits, which may partly account for this, but 
the young and half-grown specimens of other species which are frequently 
met with in material collected with the surface-net have very seldom been 
noticed in herrings’ stomachs, so that it is probable the species of Hyperiidee 
are preferred by them.
