77 Part III.—Twenty-seventh Annual Report 
1906. 
ApRriL.—-Pelagic crustacea were apparently scarce at the Barmore 
station in April. Four vertical hauls were collected at 15, 30, 45, and 75 
fathoms, but the catches were small. That from 15 fathoms contained 
about 100 Calanus, one or two Centropages hamatus, and a few larval 
Balani, while that from 30 fathoms contained about 200 Calanus and 
about half that number of Psewdocalanus. The catch from 45 fathoms 
differed little from the one just referred to, but though that from 
75 fathoms was also small, Calanus and Psewdocalanus were rather more 
numerous, and there were also present a few Centropages hamatus and 
Temora longicornis, and one or two larval Balani, 
JuUNE.—The next series of gatherings from this station were collected in 
June. They were vertical hauls from depths similar to those already 
mentioned, 7.e., 15, 30, 45, and 60 fathoms, and one from near the bottom 
(80 fathoms). In these gatherings pelagic crustacea were rather more 
plentiful. The first three hauls measured respectively 3°5, 10°5, and 
9°5 c.c.’s, that from 60 fathoms 20 c.c.’s, and the one from 80 fathoms 
25 c.c.’s. The contents of the various hauls consisted almost entirely ‘of 
Calanus. 
Avucust.—Five gatherings were also collected here in August. The first 
four did not differ greatly in any way from those just described, but the 
last one (from 75 fathoms) was considerably larger than that collected in 
June, and measured 100 c.c.’s. Calanus and Pseudocalanus were present 
in about equal numbers in the first four gatherings, but the last one 
consisted almost entirely of Calanus. A few Hucheta, Parapontella brevi- 
cornis, Rhoda raschi, and Sagitta were observed in some of the hauls. ‘The 
first four hauls measured respectively 3, 7:5, 15°5, and 20°5 c.c.’s. 
SEPTEMBER.—Five hauls were collected in September. The smallest was 
from 15 fathoms and measured only 1 c.c.; the next two from 30 and 45 
fathoms were also small—they each measured 1°5 c.c.’s; those from 60 
and 75 fathoms were considerably larger, and measured respectively 15°5 
and 70 c.c.’s. ‘The last two gatherings consisted almost entirely of 
Calanus, Hucheta norvegica, of which there were a few specimens, being 
the only other species observed. Calanus also formed the chief portion of 
the other gatherings, but a few specimens of Anomalocera patersoni - 
occurred in the gathering from 15 fathoms, while Psewdocalanus formed 
about 2 per cent. and Acartia clausi 5 per cent. of those from 30 and 45 
fathoms. 
OctoBER.—-The gatherings collected in October were similar to those 
just described, and the quantity of each catch did not differ to any great 
extent, so that, apparently, the number and general distribution of the 
pelagic crustacea remained much the same as it was in September. The © 
gatherings consisted chiefly of Calanus, but afew Hucheta and Nyctiphanes 
norvegicus occurred in the hauls from 60 and 75 fathoms, and there were 
also a few Sagitta in some of the gatherings. 
1907. 
Aprit.—Five vertical hauls were collected in April 1907. They were 
very small, and the total catch scarcely measured 6 c.c.’s. The contents of 
the various gatherings consisted for the most part of Calanus, but the 
following species were also represented, though very sparingly, viz. :— 
Acartia clausi, Anomaloceru wpatersoni, Centropages hamatus, Hucheta 
norvegica, Pseudocalanus elongatus, and Temora longicornis. A few larval 
Balani, Sagitta, and fish ova were observed. 
May.—The gatherings collected in May, when compared with the April 
collections, showed a considerable increase in the number of pelagic
