COMMUNICATED TO THE ROYAL SWEDISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES SEPTEMBER 15, 1880. STOCKHOLM, 1881. KONGL. BOKTRYCKERIET. P, A, NORSTEDT & SONER. Several years ago I received through Professor $. Loven from the Swedish State Museum some samples af shellsand and mud, which had been collected during the ex- pedition of the Roy. Swedish Fregaté Eugenie 1851—53 on the Gallapagos Islands, Honolulu, Port Jackson etc. On ‘examining these samples, as well as many others, received from various friends and correspondents, I found a number of diatoms, which seems to me to be entirely new to science or at least of interest. Especially am I in- debted to Dr. SépERLuND for some very rich materials from the Mediterranean Sea and the Balearic Islets, to Mr. Curistran Fesicer, the wellknown diatomist of Wilmington, Delaware, Mr. Hauck of Triest, Prof. Beracren, Dr. O. Norpstept and others for va- rious interesting gatherings. Mr. Grunow of Vienna has kindly helped me in preparing this paper and assisted me in many cases of uncertainity, and for which I here take the liberty of tendering him my best thanks. Mastogloia Tuwairzs. 1. M. panduriformis Cu. N. Sp. Valve panduriform with cuneate ends. Margin with somewhat distant loculi, ex- cept in the middle, on both sides of the central nodule, where they are wanting or indiscernible. The surface of the valve is covered with small, irregularly scattered puncta and very fine (20 in 0,01 mm.), parallel, punctate striw. These striw, which are not strongly marked, cover the whole valve, except a small area, round the straight median line and central nodule. Terminal nodules turned in opposite directions. Length 0,0975 mm. Breadth 0,027 mm. at the constriction 0,0195 mm. Gallapagos Islands (Eugenie Exp.) Very rare. Ply dy figs Te es The outline of the frustule, the few and large loculi as well as its peculiar structure destinguishes this fine form from all previously known species. Its nearest allies are the Navicule or Mastogloix, forming A. Scumrpts section Pseudodiploneis, N. marginata Lewis, N. strangulata Gruv., Mastogl.? reticulata Grun. 4 P. T. CLEVE, ON SOME NEW DIATOMS. 2. Mastogloia submarginata Cu. et Grun. N. Sp. Elliptic lanceolate, ends neither produced nor capitate. Marginal loculi very in- distinct, 5—8 in 0,01 mm. Strize punctate, 18—20 in 0,01 mm., most strongly marked near the margin and on both sides of the median line, so that they seem to be inter- rupted by a more or less large lunate area. The stria continue across this area, but are very faintly marked, and can only be discovered with good objectives. Length 0,04—0,048 mm. Breadth 0,013—0,017 mm. Gallapagos Islands (Eugenie Exp.), Campéche Bay (accord. to Grunow). |S) ie ao Pace The specimens from Gallapagos Islands have 18 stria and 8 canaliculi in 0,01 mm., specimens from Campéche Bay, according to Grunow, 20 strie and 5—7 canaliculi. In its very indistinct canaliculi and the interrupted strie this species comes nearest to N. Jelineckit Grun. Amphora Exs. 1. A. Berggrenti Cu. N. Sp. Median band not complex, central nodule not transversely dilated. The frustule is elongated with broad and rounded ends and almost parallel sides; its form being like that of A. arenaria Donx. The valve is striate, dorsal strie almost parallel, more distant in the middle (17 in 0,01 mm.) than near the ends (20 in 0,01 mm.); ventral strie irregular, divergent, especially near the terminal nodules. Terminal nodules con- spicuous and seem to project into the frustule. Length of the frustule 0,065 mm. Breadth 0,025 mm.

A freshwater species of Amphora having this appearance is very remarkable. I have issued this species in Cx. et Mozx. Diat. N:o 90. Cymbella Ac. 1. Cymbella Brasiliana Cu. N. Sp. Almost symmetrical, naviculoid (a faint obliquity being percebtible only on large specimens), lanceolate with somewhat obtuse apices. Median line straight. Strie ra- diant, near the apices almost parallel, covering the whole surface, except a narrow (larger near the central nodule), area round the median line. The central strie are stronger and more marked than the others. All the stris are punctate, the puncta forming wawy longitudinal lines. Strie 22 in 0,01 mm. on the part between the middle and the ends. KONGL. SV. VET. AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND. I8, n:0 5. 5 Length 0,035 -0,06 mm. Breadth 0,012—0,015 mm. Pl. I, fig. 4, a. (dry), 6.

In the strongly marked central strie this form reminds one of Navicula Crucicula, but it is quite different. There is also some resemblance to the Navicula Lundstrémit Ci. (in Cx. et Grun. Arctische Diat. Pl. III, fig. 39). Another allied form is the as yet undescribed Cymbella Frivseana Grun. from Tana Elf in Finmarken (Cu. et Moz. Diat. N:o 261). This species has produced and capitate ends and 12—15 punctate strie in the middle, 18—19 halfway between the middle and the ends, where they are 21 in 0,01 mm. Length 0,05—0,06 mm. Breadth 0,014 mm. 2. Cymbella Stoddert Cr. N. Sp. Elongate, lanceolate, slightly asymmetrical. Ends slightly produced and attenuated. Stria strongly radiant in the middle, almost parallel near the apices, scarcely punctate, 10 in 0,01 mm. a little more distant in the centre, covering */, of the valve and leaving on both sides of the median line a tolerably broad area.

The numerous forms, belonging to this section, are so closely allied, that it is impossible to decide what are species or what varieties. Another most beautiful and gigantic form of this section is the following: 7. Navicula (excavata Grev. var.?) Angelorum Cu. Very large, broadly oval, with rounded ends. Area large bilobate.

I propos¢ to include in this section a small number of Navicula-forms, which are in some respects akin to Amphiprora and in other to Stauroneis. The valve on both sides in the median line is divided by a.keel into two portions. The central no- dule is transversely dilated into a short stauros, reaching the above named keels. The type of the section is: Navicula arctica Cu. In my paper On the arctic Diat. (Bih. till K. Sv. Vet. Ak. Handl. 1873, 1, N:o 18, p. 16, Pl. TI, fig. 18). This fine species was first described and somewhat indifferently figured by Bamay (Smirus. Contr. Vol. VII, p. 8. fig. 14 and 15, 1853) as Amphora stauroptera. GRE- Gory afterwards gave (in his Diat. of Clyde 1857, p. 34, Pl. IV, fig. 59¢.) a very fine figure of the species in question in S.V., but he regardes it as Amphiprora lepidoptera. At the same time he describes the F. V. as Amph. obtusa (fig. 60 l.c.). but Mr. Lacrr- sTeDT (Bih. till K. Sv. Vet. Ak. Handl. T. III, N:o 15, p. 46) has found that the two figures (59 and 60) belong to the same species. As the names N. stauroptera and N. obtusa have been used for other forms it will be most conveniant to name the species N. arctica. A. Scumipt has figured the species in his Nordsee Diat. Pl.

Rabenhorstianus, but which should be changed for the older name of GRE- vitLe’s. The type of this extremely variable species, especially abundant in the ca- ribbean area, has alternating longer and shorter coste and an area not surrounded by a circlet of puncta. The form from Gallapagos Islands is therefore distinct, but, con- sidering the great variability of the species, I am inclined to regard it only as a variety. The stellate markings on the disc are very variable, and in some specimens wanting. 2. Campylodiscus Margaritarum Cu. N. Sp.

Epsilon Grev., rare in Monterey stone, R. superba (and var.? ventricosa) Grev. and R. elliptica Grev. from Barbados. They all have the cu- rious markings in the centre of the valve, which are elevations above the level of the frustule, as is visible on the fig. 10, Pl. XI, T. Micr. Soc. Vol. XIV. In our recent species these markings are represented only by the strongly marked puncta. From GREVILLE’s fig. of the F. V. of &. elliptica and R. superba it is evident that the valve is plane and that its apices are produced into processes, and farther that the margins of the frustule are bounded with a row af sete, exactly as in our species. The position of Rutilaria is somewhat uncertain. GrevittE has pointed out its relationship to Nitzschia and Fragilariee. Prof. Hamiiron Smits places it among the Melosire. It has however no real affinity with Nitzschia or Melosire, but is very nearly allied to the genus Cymatosira Grun., of which the only known species C. Lo- renziana GRuUN. has also marginal bristles. The Cymatosira is without doubt nearly related to Dimerogramma. Mr. Kirron writes to me in a letter about a new species of Rutilaria from the Californian deposits, Rut. obesum Grev. Mpt. The valve has 3 inflations, the central being the largest; the apices are shortly cuneate; one third of the area is smooth, the remainder distinctly covered with irregular markings. The central nodule consists of a nebulous circular spot, upon which is placed a short spiral (?) ring. Margin distinctly punctate. Mr. Kirron has seen about half a dozen specimens of this species, all frustles, and in no case was he able to separate the valves. I crushing partially one specimen in balsam, he observed that the nebulous central nodule was the base of a siliceous isthmus, connecting the two valves. 20 P. T. CLEVE, ON SOME NEW DIATOMS.

PLANKTON COLLECTED BY THE SWEDISH EXPEDITION TO SPITZBERGEN IN 1898 EXAMINED BY P. T. CLEVE WITH 4 PLATES PRESENTED TO THE R. SWEDISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 1899 MARCH 87# STOCKHOLM OKTRYCKERIET, P. a, NORSTEDT & sONER 1899 The scientific Swedish expedition 1898 to Spitzbergen under the direction of Professor A. G. Narsorst paid a particular interest in exploring the plankton of the sea. A great number of samples were gathered, among which about 50 were collected by pumping the water through a silk-net. These gatherings were all small and have been completely examined by me both for animal and vegetable plankton. The other samples, about 100, were brought up by the tow-net, partly from the surface and partly from more or less considerable depths. As Dr. C. Auriviniius has charged himself with the examination of the animals in all the tow-net gatherings, I have examined them for vegetable plankton only, with the exception of the radiolarians, which offered a particular interest for my other plankton-researches. Plankton-types. I proposed in 1896! to class the plankton of the Atlantic and its tributaries in certain types or formations according to the association of species. For understanding the following it will be necessary first to characterize briefly these plankton-types. I. Desmo-plankton (sign D). This formation rules in the warmest part of the Atlantic, in the Sargasso-sea and in the equatorial current. The temperature of the water containing desmo-plankton varies usually between 20° and 28° and the salinity is about 36 p. m. The organisms belong to a great number of species, many of which are identical with those of the Indian Ocean. Among the more characteristic species I can name the following: Animals. Plants. Clausocalanus furcatus, Trichodesmium, Coryceus longicaudis, Pyrocystis pseudonoctiluca, C. speciosus, Ceratium fusus var. longiseta (n. v.), Eucheta marina, C. tripos var. flagellifera (n. v.), Miracia efferata, Ceratocorys horrida, Oncea venusta, Goniodoma acuminatum, Setella gracilis, Ornithocercus magnificus, Radivlarians (many species). Chetoceros coarctatus, C. tetrastichon, Climacodium biconcavum, C. Frauenfeldii (= C. Jacobi Ct.), Hemiaulus Hauckii. 1 Bih. till K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. XXII, 3, N:o 5. — A treatise on the phyto-plankton. Upsala 1897. + op. T. CLEVE. PLANKTON, COLLECTED BY THE SWEDISH EXPEDITION TO SPITZBERGEN. If. Styliplankton (Sign S). The region of desmoplankton, which is subject to variation in extent according to the seasons, is surrounded by an irregular band of water containing styliplankton. In the west this plankton-type seems always to occur in mixture with desmoplankton, and such a mixture characterizes the Caribbean Sea, the Antilles-current to the region of Bermuda. About the 40° breadth the styliplankton becomes more differentiated and the region increases in breadth towards the European and African coasts. It forms a narrow band west of Africa from Cape Verde to Canaries and occupies the triangular space between the Azores, the English Channel and Bermuda. The extent of the region is subject to great variation according to the seasons. In the summer it approaches towards the Farée Channel (probably also towards Iceland) in a mighty tongue, which sends branches through the English Channel into the German Ocean and around Scotland into the North Sea. When the water enters the North Sea its salinity becomes lowered by admixture of the continental coast-water and, consequently, the plankton becomes also modified. Some of the species die away, others multiply, and thus are originated in the North Sea two important derived styli-planktontypes, the tripos-plankton in the north and the didymus-plankton in the south. I have distinguished as a third type of North Sea plankton the halosphera-plankton. This kind also originates from the styliplankton by an considerable increase of the green alga Halosphera viridis, which seems to take place in the autumn around Farée, from whence it descends to Scot- land and enters the North Sea finally reaching Skagerack. The styliplankton-water, which in the beginning of the summer reaches the Farde Channel proceeds during the autumn towards Spitzbergen. The temperature of this water varies usually between 10° and 20° and the salinity is about 35 p. m. The number of organisms constituting the styliplankton is very considerable and the flora and fauna are subject to a great variability according to the breadth and the season. Some species appear simultaneously at the African and South American coasts, others occur in the whole region, others again scem to be limited to the eastern part. I name among the more common and characteristic forms the following, marking with e such forms, as occur in the eastern Atlantic. With s I denote forms, which as a rule do not pass over the Farde Channel, and with n forms which enter the northern Atlantic. Animals. Plants. Acartia Clausii (e n), Halosphera viridis (n), Centropages typicus (n), Ceratium (trip. v.) auritum (e 8), Clausocalanus arcuicornis (s), C. candelabrum (s), Coryceus rostratus (e s), C. furca (e n), Mecynocera Clausi (in the spring s), C. lineatum (n), Microsetella atlantica (n), C. reticulatum (s), Oithona plumifera (s, n rarely), Dinophysis homunculus (s), O. similis (n), Diplopsalis lenticula (n), Oncea minuta (e n), Gonyaulax, polygramma (n), Paracalanus parvus (n), Peridinium divergens (n), KONGL.

The derived stylitypes of the North Sea, the didymus- and tripos-plankton, are characterized as follows. A. Didymus-plankton (Sign Nm). This plankton-type rules in the summer and autumn along the southern coasts of the German Ocean above the 50 metre-plateau of the bottom. The temperature varies between 8° and 17° and the salinity is about 32 or 38 p.m. The organisms are numerous and the diatoms constitute an important part of them. Among the animals many are common to didymus- and triposplankton and their names are in the following lists enclosed in parenthesis. Animals. (Acartia Clausit), (Centropages hamatus), (C. typicus), Coryceus anglicus, Isias clavipes, c Labidocera Wollastonii, (Oithona similis), (Paracalanus parvus), Podon polyphemordes, (Sagitta bipunctata), Oikopleura dioica, Noctiluca miliaris, Tintinnopsis campanula. As the more common species we note: Plants. Bacteriastrum varians, Biddulphia mobilensis, Cerataulina Bergonit, Chetoceros curvisetus, C. danicus, C. didymus, C. Schiittii, C. Weissflogit, Ditylum Brightwelli, Eucampia zodiacus, Guinardia flaccida, Rhizosolenia Shrubsoltt, R. Stolterfothiz, Streptotheca tamesis. B. Triposplankton (Sign 7p) rules in the summer and autumn in the northern part of the North Sea above the 100 metre-plateau of the bottom and extends from Scotland to Scandinavia as far as Finmarken. cheeto-plankton. 1 Perid. divergens v. oblonga AURIV. In the spring it is replaced by water with 6 vv. T. CLEVE. PLANKTON, COLLECTED BY THE SWEDISH EXPEDITION TO SPITZBERGEN. The temperature varies usually between about 5° in the winter and 14° in the sum- mer, and the salinity is about 34 p. m., but these figures are subject to great variations according to relative abundance of oceanic or coast-water that enters in the composition of the triposplankton-water. The triposplankton is chiefly constituted by cilioflagellates and entomostraca, the diatoms being almost absent. As stated above the animals are to a great extent of the same species as in the didymusplankton, which is easily explained as both types are derived from styliplankton. Among the organisms we note the following: Animals. Plants. (Sayitta bipunctata), Ceratium furca, (Acartia Clausit), . C. fusus, Anomalocera Patersonii, C. tripos, Calanus finmarchicus, C. trip. v. macroceros, (Centropages typicus), Peridinium divergens. (Oithona similis), (Paracalanus parvus), Pseudocalanus elongatus, Temora longicornis, Evadne Nordmannii, E. spinifera, Podon intermedius. Many of the species of the styliplankton also enter into the triposplankton, as Acanthometron quadrifolium. Plectophora arachnoides, probably originally belonging to the chetoplankton and abundant around Scotland, enters also frequently into the tripos- plankton. I. Chetoplankton (Sign C). This planktontype occurs in the western ‘and northern parts of the Atlantic only and during the spring. From March to June or July it can be traced from about the 40° Lat. and 70° Leng. to the Newfoundland Banks and to the south of Iceland, from whence it turns across the Fardée Channel and enters the North Sea, replacing its triposplankton, and reaches the coasts of Scandinavia. It dis- appears in the summer, becoming replaced by styliplankton, but rules in July and August around Spitzbergen. When the water with the chwtoplankton touches the coasts, especially of Iceland, it sweeps away the neritic plankton there and spreads it along the coasts of Scot- land and Scandinavia, where it enters into the fjords. Thus many species of northern origin may remain during the summer cmprisoned in the fjords, especially in their deeper water. The temperature of the chetoplankton-water varies usually between 5° and 9° and the sulinity is about 35 p. m. The organisms of the chetoplankton are chiefly diatoms, especially Chetoceros deci- piens and Ch. constrictus. C. borealis and C. criophilus occur both in cheeto- and tricho- plankton so that it is difficult to decide whether they belong to one or the other type. KONGL. SV. VET. AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. RAND 32. wo 3. 7 Another organism, the flagellate Phaocystis Pouchetii, appears in the same time as Che- toceros decipiens, frequently in great abundance, and has about the same distribution. I therefore include also that organism among the cheto-species. IV. Trichoplankton (Sign 7). This type rules in the western Atlantic and constitutes in the summer the plankton of the Irminger Sea. Its origin is doubtful. Typical trichoplankton was gathered in the Bering Sea during the expedition of the Vega and it is an open question whether it spreads from the northern Pacific to the northern Atlantic or vice versa. In the winter (1897—98) the characteristic species of the tricho- plankton appeared as far down to the south as to the south of the Azores, which possibly may be owing to the plankton of the Labrador-current having been conveyed by the south-going branch of the Gulf-stream. In the summer it is confined to the western and arctic Atlantic, but in the winter it spreads to Scandinavia. The temperature of the trichoplankton-water varies between 6° and 12° and the salinity amounts to about 34 p. m. As the trichoplankton frequently becomes mixed with chetoplankton and with sira- plankton it is a difficult matter to make out to what type a number of species really belong. I consider the following as chiefly tricho-organisms: Animals. Plants. Calanus finmarchicus, Ceratium tripos v. arctica, Fritillaria borealis, Chetoceros atlanticus, Spadella hamata, Coscinodiscus oculus iridis, Cyttarocylis denticulata (with the varie- Rhizosolenia obtusa, ties edentula, media and- gigantea), R. semispina, Ptychocylis acuta, Thalassiosira gravida, Tintinnus minutus. Thalassiothria longissima. On the coasts, washed by the trichoplankton-water, there originates a peculiar kind of derived trichoplankton, which I have designated as Northern neritic plankton (Sign Ns). This somewhat variable type occurs at the coast of Iceland, in Skagerack and in the fjords of Sweden during the winter, also in the fjords of Norway and on the Norwegian coast-banks, where it becomes in the summer slowly replaced by triposplankton. This kind of plankton seems to invade the coasts of Scotland and Scandinavia twice a year, viz. in the spring in company or in connection with the chetoplankton and in the autumn in connection with the trichoplankton. The detailed study of this kind of plankton will doubtless afford very interesting results as different species rule on different coasts. Thus for instance the Asterionella spathulifera abounds in the south coast of Iceland and becomes from thence transported to Scotland and as far southwards as to the coast of Holland. On the coast-banks of Norway Ceratium tripos v. longipes is the ruling species. The Limfjord of Denmark affords par- ticular advantages for the development of some species, as Skeletonema costatum and Chito- ceros debilis,' which remain there for the greater part of the year. 1 C.

The temperature of the water with northern neritic plankton varies in Skagerak from about 4° to 7° and the salinity is about 32—33 p. m. As species constituting the northern neritic plankton we name the following: Animals. Plants. (Acartia longiremis), Asterionella spathulifera, (Calanus jinmarchicus), Biddulphia aurita, (Centropages hamatus), Cheetoceros debilis, (Pseudocalanus elongatus), C. diadema, (Temora longicornis), C. scolopendra, Tintinnopsis berotdea, C. teres, T. ventricosa. Coscinodiscus polychordus, Leptocylindrus danicus, Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira gelatinosa, Thalassiothrix Frauenfeldii, Ceratium tripos v. longipes, Gronyaulaz spinifera, Peridinium depressum. V. Sira-plankton (Sign Si) rules along the coasts of Greenland and in Baffins Bay, or in the Arctic Ocean properly, where it constitutes the plankton of the water with melting drift-ice. As it touches the trichoplankton it becomes frequently mixed with it, so that the distinction of what species belong to one or the other is a matter of difficulty. The water with sira-plankton has lower temperature than the trichoplankton-water and less salinity, about 32—33. This type might be considered as a kind of neritic plankton, did not the most characteristic species, Thalassiosira Nordenskiéldii, at certain periods occur in wide areas north of the Kara Sea and between Spitzbergen and Finmarken. Typical sira-plankton is almost free from animals and contains as its most characteristic species Thalassiosira Nordenskioldi, Fragilaria oceanica, Lauderia fragilis, Chetoceros furcellatus and C. socialis. It is frequently mixed with some northern neritic forms as Chetoceros debilis, C. diadema, C. scolopendra, Coscinodiscus oculus tridis, Biddulphia aurita, Tha- lasstosira gravida etc. This kind of plankton appears in Skagerak usually in February and March. Along the coast of Greenland the sira-plankton becomes mixed with a number of neritic forms and such a derived sira-plankton I have distinguished as Arctic neritic plankton (sign Ng). This kind of plankton contains, besides the species of sira-plankton, the following: Amphiprora hyperborea, Eucampia groenlandica, Achnanthes teniata, Fragilaria cylindrus, Chetoceros septentrionalis, Navicula septentrionalis, Coscinodiscus bioculatus, Nitzschia frigida, C. hyalinus, Pleurosigma Stuxbergii.

Temperature varying between 7° and 9°. Salinity 33—35 p. m. The plankton is of great uniformity, being a mixture of tripos- and northern neritic plankton (Zp, Ns). The most important species are the following: Of triposplankton: Of northern neritic plankton: Acartia Clausti +, Acartia longiremis e¢, Microsetella atlantica r, Ceratium tripos var. longipes ce, Oithona similis +, Peridinium depressum +, Evadne Nordmannii c, Coscinodiseus oculus iridis rr.

The plankton of this region agrees completely with that of June 1896." If com- pared with the plankton of May 1897 in the same region, we mark that the tripos- plankton occurred in 1898 in greater abundance. This corresponds with the lower tem- perature (5,45—9,72) and salinity (28,05 to 34,11) in the year 1897. 1 Bib. till K. Sv. Vet-Akad. Hand]. XXIII, 2, N:o 4. K. Sv. Vet. Akad. Ilandl. Baud 82.

Interesting is the occurrence of the styliplanktonforms, of which Oithona plumifera and Collozowm indicate a far distant origin (probably the region of the Azores). Plecto- phora arachnoides indicates that the water has passed the Farde Channel. In June 1896 and May 1897 this region was almost sterile, containing traces only of northern neritic plankton. 3. Beeren Hiland—Hope Island. June 20th to June 23d. Temperature —0,35 to +-0,97 and salinity 34,76 to 32,97. The ruling plankton is chetoplankton with Chetoceros decipiens and Phaocystis Pouchetii; tricho-plankton is also represented by Calanus finmarchicus, Cyttarocylis gigantea and Coscinodiscus oculus iridis, and arctic neritic plankton by the rare occurrence of Ptychocylis obtusa. 4.

Among these species some are of a particular interest, for instance Challengeria tridens and Plectophora arachnoides, radiolarians known from the Farée Channel. Litho- lophus ligurinus and the still more interesting Oncwa minuta can be traced from the Mediterranean and the Azores to the mouth of the English Channel and Farde Channel, thus indicating the course the styliplankton-water has taken. In the year 1896 in August this region west of Spitzbergen was sterile, and north of Beeren Eiland there ruled typical trichoplankton. I July 1897 cheetoplankton was pre- ponderant west of Spitzbergen and was north of Beeren Eiland mixed with trichoplankton. Styliplankton appeared very sparingly at first south of Beeren Eiland. 9. Beeren Hiland—Fugl6. September 4th to September 6th. Temperature 8,8 to 9,40. Salinity about 35.

PLANKTON, COLLECrED BY THE SWEDISH EXPEDITION TO SPITZBERGEN. Deep-sea Plankton. At some stations plankton was gathered by hauls from different depths. As Dr. Aurivituius will describe the animals found in these samples, I have examined the vegetable plankton and the radiolarians only, and being thus unable to give a complete account of these gatherings I confine myself here to shortly characterizing them so far as regards the phytoplankton and the radiolarians. 1. Station M. 26 to 27 July. Lat. 77°39’. Long. 1°18'E. 100—0 metres. Salinity at 100 m. 34,97, in the surface 32,22. Temp. 5,07. This sample contained trichoplankton (Chetoceros criophilus, Rhizosolenia obtusa) and some arctic neritic plankton (Dinobryum), but the animals indicate the presence of an amount of styliplankton of the same kind as in the surface west and south of Spitz- bergen in August and September. 2. Station N. 28 July. Lat. 77°52'N. Long. 3°5' W. a. Haul 10—0O m. Temp. at 0 m. 3,6%. Salinity 34,38. Chiefly chetoplankton (Chetoceros decipiens, Pheocystis Pouchetii) and arctic neritic plankton (Dinobryum). b. Haul 25—0 m. Temp. at 25 m. 2,72. Salinity 34,74. The same kind of plankton. c.

Content the same as a, but, in addition, Rhizosolenia gracillima and some animals of the styliplankton-type. The conclusion is, that the deeper strata contained styliplankton, the upper cheto- plankton. 3. Station O. 29 to 30 July. Lat. 78°13'N. Long. 2°58’ W. a. Haul 100—O0 m. Temp. at 0 m. 3,1, sal. 33,76; at 100 m. 1,17, sal. 35,03. Content: chiefly Pheocystis Pouchetii, thus cheetoplankton. b. Haul 500—O m. Temp. at 500 m. 0,93, sal. 35,03. Content as a, and besides, rarely Challengeria tridens and some other styliplankton forms. c. Haul 2,600—0 m. Temp. at 2,700 m. —1,48, sal. 34,96. Chiefly as a but with radiolarians of many species sparingly. Among the radiolarians were found a number of new forms which will be described further on. Among known forms Aulacantha levissima, Challengeria tridens and Trochodiscus echinidiscus are known from the Farée Channel, Stichopilium Davisianum from the bottom mud near Greenland, also Artro- strobus annulatus, which latter was first found near Kamtchatka. Dictyophimus gracilipes is known from Kamtchatka only. Challengeria Harstoni was dredged by the Challenger- expedition from the abysmal depths cast of Japan. Among the new forms is Polypetta holostoma, allied to P. tabulata from the central Indian Ocean. Aulodendron antarcticum, Auloscena spectabilis and Sagenoscena penicillata are known from the Antarctic Ocean only. KONGL. SV. VET. AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND 32. w:o 3, 15 4. Station P. August Ith.

AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND 32. N:0 3. 17 The general result of this examination of the deep-sea gatherings might be suin- marized as follows: The deeper strata with the sal. 35 contain chiefly styliplankton (from the eastern -temperate Atlantic and Farée Channel). This water reaches the surface at St. X. The upper strata with 32—34 sal. contain at the stations N and O chetoplankton, at the stations M, P, 8, T, U trichoplankton. As the latter type has been found this spring ruling in the region east of Greenland and north of Iceland it may derive from that part of the Ocean.

In the following I give a list of all the organisms, found by me in the plankton- gathering, as well as the dates etc. for every form.

Braypr (Bibl. Zool. 1896) has some years ago split the Tintinnus denticulatus of EuRENBERG in several new species, which, however, seem to me to be mere varieties. But as it is of a certain importance for hydrography to distin- guish also races I have tried to keep the forms separate. Around Spitzbergen was found, besides, a new variety obtusa (Aurivituvs), which differs from var. giyantea by the apical end being rounded. a. typical C. denticulata. Surface: Date. | Lat. N. | Long.

N. Sp. By this name I propose to distinguish, provisionally, an organism, which, as I believe, belongs to the ciliate infusoria, but differs considerably from all known forms. Having had no opportunity of examining living specimens I am, at present, unable to characterize the new genus sufficiently. It seems to be nearest allied to the problematic Baltic form, designed by Hensew as »Sternhaarstatoblasten» and of which I have found some specimens in one of the hauls from Spitzbergen. KONGL. SV.

The var. arctica occurs frequently, sometimes in immense number, in the Labrador current, in Davis strait and around Spitzbergen (optimum salinity 34 p. m.). It belongs thus to the tricho- plankton chiefly, but occurs also in the sira-plankton. The var. longipes, on the con- trary, is a more neritic form, which occurs in the spring along the whole Norwegian coast-line, around Scotland and in Skagerak. It belongs to the northern neritic plankton. Surface: Date. | Lat. N. | Long. Temp. Sal, Fq. Pil. Date. | Lat. N. | Long. Temp. Sal. Fq.

According to a recent publication of Dr. LeupuGEr Fortmorex * this species occurs West of Africa in the region of Cape Verde together with Chetoceros scolopendra Cr. (=C. spinosum Lxup.). Both are found also by me in a gathering (March 1898) from the same region. In March and April 1898 this species was found, besides, in the region of the Canaries and from the Azores to the mouth of the English Channel, in June and July around the Shetlands. In case C. hystrix be identical with C. criophilum this form goes thus, following the western coast of Africa, from the Antarctic to the Arctic region. It has also (once in March 1898) been seen North of the South American coast, but not in the intermediate region of the Sargasso Sea. The Corethron hystriz, although in general of rare occurrence, is a species of considerable interest and belongs evidently to the styliplankton. ~ Surface: | Date. | Lat. N. | Long. Temp. Sal. Fq.
