Abstract
IT is stated by Mr. L. H. Gough (“Report of the Plankton of the English Channel”, 1903), that the copepod Anomalocera pattersoni, R. Temp., may generally be regarded as an oceanic species. Gough's observations tended to show that Gran was correct in assuming this to be the case, although Cleve considered the species to be neritic. Sars, in his “Crustacea of Norway”, speaks of the occurrence of this copepod “off the south and west coasts of Norway, generally congregated in great shoals”, but throughout the reports published in connection with the international fishery investigations, no record occurs of its similar abundant occurrence in the English Channel.
