Extract
1. Twenty oblique hauls of a stramin ring-trawl, diameter of mouth 5 feet, were made during a period of 48 hours off Liverpool, Nova Scotia, i n May, 1932.
2. The common species were Thysanoëssa mschii, Th. inermis, Sagilta elegans, Calanus finmarchicus and C. hyperboreus.
3. All of the above occurred in the collections made during the night n i larger numbers than in those in the daytime. No such discrepancy appeared in the case of the Fish Ova.
4. The discrepancy is held to be due in each case to a proportion of the population sinking to depths greater than could be sampled by the net.
