Fig. 547 shows the number of leptocephali of every descrip- tion taken during our cruise, and we see that the majority were taken south of a line from Newfoundland past the Azores to. Fig. 545. a. Larva of Gastrostomiis bairdii (?). Nat. size, 4 cm. Station 64. b. Gastrosfomus bairdii. Gill and Ryd. Nat. size, cm. North Africa. The ones taken north of this line belong, according to Lea, to the following species :— Leptocephalus hrevirostris, the larva of the common eel. Leptocephalus Congri vulgaris^ the larva of the conger eel. Leptocephalus Synaphobranchi phinafi, the larva of Synaphobranchus pinnatiis.
