E. superba was absent from all the stations southward from WS 539, including the ice-edge station WS 552, at which six sets of ob- servations were made over a period of twenty-four hours. Flights of five closing metre nets were fished, the lowest at about 500 m.; in none of these was young E. superba taken.
