HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION, GROWTH AND DYNAMICS OF DISPERSAL 367 We measured the young krill to the nearest milUmetre from the anterior margin of the eye^ to the tip of the telson, the vast bulk of the work being carried out daily at sea in the course of the routine examination of the samples from the stramin nets. To eliminate the effect of (i) personal errors intro- duced because the labour of measuring was shared by several (at least six) individuals, (2) errors arising through the variable contraction or distortion of the specimens in the formalin fixative, and (3) multiple errors arising through the very rapidity with which perforce so much of this enormous task had to carried out, the length frequencies are presented in 2-mm. groups. The number of specimens upon which each developmental graph (whether expressed as a length or stage frequency) is based is shown at the bottom of each seasonal diagram, both of which, although based largely on the field observations described above, include the highly accurate measurements (to the nearest ^ mm.) and larval and adolescent determinations of Fraser (1936, Appendices i and 11).
