87 : Part III.—Twenty-seventh Annual Report 
fathoms there were a small number of Wyctiphanes, Rhoda raschi, and 
Sagitta. 
May.—Three of the gatherings collected in May were horizontal and 
four were vertical hauls. The horizontal hauls included one from surface, 
one from mid-water, and one from the bottom. The surface and bottom 
hauls were both considerably larger than the other, and measured respec- 
tively 165 and 225 c.c.’s, while the mid-water gathering measured only 
75 c.c.’s. The surface and mid-water hauls consisted almost entirely of 
Calanus. In the bottom haul, which was also mainly composed of 
Calanus, the following other species were observed :—Pandalus montagut, 
Hippolyte securifrons, Caridion gordont, Mysis lamorne, Janira maculosa, 
Stegocephaloides christianiensis, and a few Pseudocalanus and Centropages, 
The two vertical hauls from 15 fathoms were nearly alike, and together 
measured about 8 ¢c.c.’s. About three-fourths of their contents consisted — 
of Calanus, the remainder being composed of Pseudocalanus and Centio- 
pages hamatus. Two gatherings from 30 fathoms differed considerably 
in quantity—the one measured 5 and the other 10°5 c.c.’s—and, while the 
larger consisted almost entirely of Calanus, only about a third of the 
contents of the smaller belonged to that species, the other two-thirds 
being made up of Pseudocalanus (chiefly), Centropages, and one or two 
other common forms. The gathering from 45 fathoms measured about 
5:5 c.c.’s, and rather more than half of the contents consisted of Calanus, 
and the remainder of Pseudocalanus and Centropages. 
Avueust.—A vertical haul from 15 fathoms, which measured 1°5 c.c.’s, 
consisted chiefly of Calanus, but Centropages hamatus and typicus were 
also observed, the first being fairly numerous; there were also a few 
Pseudocalanus and Acartia claust. Two other hauls from 30 and 45 
fathoms measured respectively 3:5 and 3 e.c.’s. Both consisted mainly of 
Calanus, with which a few other other species were sparingly represented, 
such as Pseudocalanus, Centropages hamatus, Eucheta, Bradyidius 
armatus, Temora, Acartia, and Otthona similis, and a small number of 
Decapod and Isopod larve. 
SEPTEMBER.—F our vertical hauls collected in September were from 14, 
30, 45, and 60 fathoms, and measured respectively 1:5, 2, 4, and 155 c.c.’s. 
Besides ‘Calanus, of which these hauls chiefly consisted, the following 
other species were sparingly represented, viz. :—Pseudocalanus, Bradyidius, 
Kuchata, Acartia clausi, Rhoda raschi, and a small number of Sagitta. 
OcropeR.—The gatherings collected in October comprised vertical hauls 
from 15, 30, 45, and 59 fathoms. These gatherings were smaller than 
those collected in September, and measured respectively 1, 1, 3, and 7 c.c.’s. 
The deep-water gathering, which, like the others, consisted mainly of 
Calunus, contained also a small number of other forms, including NVyett- 
phanes, Rhoda raschi, and Sagitta. 
1906. 
Aprit.—Vertical hauls from 15, 30, 45, and 60 fathoms collected in 
April 1906, measured respectively 7,5, 16, and 12 cc.’s. The gatherings — 
consisted chiefly of Calanus, but one or two other species were observed, 
though only in small numbers. 
June.—The gatherings from this station collected in June comprised 
vertical hauls at 15, 30, 45, and 55 fathoms. ‘These gatherings measured 
respectively 7:5, 8°5, 13°5, and 17 c.c.’s. Calanus formed about three- 
fourths of the total catch, and Pseudocalanus nearly one-fourth. A few 
Centropages, Acartia, and Sagitta were also observed. 
Aveust._-The gatherings, three in number, collected in August were 
from 15, 30, and 45 fathoms. They were moderately large, especially the 
last one, and measured respectively 11, 5°5, and 67 c.c.’s. The first con-
