Our deep tow-net caught a large Alepocephalus, showing that this fish may be pelagic. So far as we know it had hitherto been taken only in the trawl, and this catch was all the more interesting, because our trawl at the end of the same wire also captured a specimen ; previously one would have taken it for granted that this specimen must have been caught at the bottom. At Station 49 B we towed seven appliances in daylight, and no black fish were captured in the upper layers. We observed a number of Portuguese men-of-war (Physalia), around which were a great many small fishes — prob- 11 1 J t y 1 / x Fig. 71.—Hippocampus. ably horse-mackerel (Laranx), which we caught in one of the young-fish trawls—and fry of Scombresox.
