Juby on the inner side of the Canary Islands. We? also learned that their catches chiefly consisted of hake {Merhiccius vu/gaj'is), which, as a rule, made up two-thirds of the whole ; soles [Solea vulgaris), and different kinds of silvery or brilliantly- coloured spiny-finned fish (mostly Sparidse), which they call 'salmon.' Our plan was to carry out two series of trawlings from the coast banks outwards to great depths, one in the Spanish Bay and one south of the Canary Islands, so as to have a general idea of the fauna at diff'erent depths in different latitudes.
