83 Part III.—Twenty-seventh Annual Report 
JuNE.—The two hauls collected in June were also moderately large, but 
the gathering from 15 fathoms was rather smaller, and that from the 
bottom somewhat larger than those collected in May. 
SEPTEMBER.—The gatherings collected in September were both small 
and measured respectively 1°5 and 2 e.c.’s. They both consisted for the 
most part of Calanus, together with a few Pseudocalanus, Centropages 
hamatus, and Acartia claust. A few Evadne nordmanni were also observed. 
OcroBER.—<A vertical haul from near the bottom, collected in October, 
yielded only a few Calanus, one or two Anomalocera patersoni, and a few 
Sagitta. 
DrEcEMBER.—A vertical haul from 15 fathoms, collected in December, 
contained only a few Calanus. One from 22 fathoms was also small, 
though slightly larger than the other. Pelagic crustacea were apparently 
very scarce at this station when these gatherings were collected. 
1908. 
FEBRUARY.—'wo vertical hauls, one from 15 fathoms, the other from 
the bottom, were collected in February 1908. They each measured about 
3:5 ¢.c.’s, and consisted almost entirely of Calanus, a few fish ova being 
also present. 
Marcu.—A haul from 15 fathoms and one from 25 fathoms, collected in 
March, measured respectively 2 and. 3 c.c.’s. Both gatherings consisted 
almost entirely of Calanus, a tew larval crustacea and fish ova being also 
observed. 
May.—The gatherings collected in May showed a considerable increase 
in the number of pelagic crustacea. The hauls were vertical, from 15 and 
25 fathoms, and measured respectively about 7°5 and 9°5 c.c.’s. They 
consisted chiefly of Calanus. Some other species sparingly represented 
included Anomalocera, Centropages hamatus, Parapontella, and Podon 
leuckartt. A few young DVecapods and Schizopods were also noticed. 
JunE.—The June gatherings were both small, especially that from 15 
fathoms, which measured only 1'5 c.c.’s; the bottom haul was rather 
larger and measured about 5 c.c.’s. These samples, compared with those 
collected in May, seemed to indicate a falling off in the numbers of pelagic 
crustacea. 
Avucust.—The gatherings collected in August were even smaller than 
those collected in June, and though that from the bottom was slightly 
larger than the other, the combined catch measured less than 3 c.c.’s, and 
showed a further decrease in the number of pelagic crustacea. 
SEPTEMBER AND NovemMBER.——The gatherings collected in September and 
November were all blank or nearly so. The gathering from 30 fathoms 
collected in September contained only a few Calanus and Acartia clausi, 
scarcely a dozen specimens altogether, and the others were equally un- 
productive. 
DrcEMBER.—The December gatherings yielded rather better results 
than those just referred to. The haul from 15 fathoms collected at this 
time measured 8 c.c.’s, and consisted entirely of Calanus. The other, 
from 30 fathoms, measured 1! c.c.’s; its contents differed from the gather- 
ing from 15 fathoms in that it contained a few Hucheta and Sagitta in 
addition to the Calanus. 
Station IV. (aABout 3-miLE 8.E. From Ki_micHarEt Bzc). 
Thirty gatherings (including horizontal) were collected at this station 
in 1905, ten in 1906, twelve in 1907, and nine in 1908, and are briefly 
desecihed below.
