Station G2 differs slightly from the remainder, inasmuch as we here find a greater number of newly spawned eggs than was to be expected. Evidently, the current must have brought down the newly spawned ^gs from the banks southwest of the station. The current at this spot can at times be very strong, and in this very direction. The numbers, however, both at stations 62 and 61, are not sufficiently great to furnish an exact picture of the stock there. The curve for the later stages (III) shows throughout what might theoretically have been expected, the later stages themselves being proportionately fewest where most eggs were found. The curve rises as we move away from the spawning banks, as far as station 62, falling again over towards the land, thus indicating that we are once more approaching grounds where, in some slight degree, spawning takes place. As we have seen, the proportion between the different stages varies greatly at different places, even for samples taken on one and the same day; the variation is, however, sufficiently regular to permit of our forming some opinion as to the cause. The example here shown is taken from a locality where the contrast is marked; great quantities of cod spawning within a restricted area, close to the very deep water where cod never spawn, but in which a certain quantity of eggs may be found, having been carried thither by the current. A different state of things would necessarily be encountered where the spawning takes place sparsely over areas of wide extent, espe- cially if
