1. The quantitative distribution, size, and stages of maturity of Sagitta elegans in the waters of Georges Bank have been determined from plankton hauls made on a network of stations occupied during 11 cruises from September 1939, to June 1941.2. The area of relatively homogeneous water overlying the central portion of Georges Bank was found to change in extent from cruise to cruise, but to be sharply delineated from the surrounding stratified water masses, and has been designated as the "Mixed Area."3. The abundance of S. elegans varied in individual hauls from a maximum of 165 specimens per cubic meter to zero, but averaged more than 10/m.3 at stations within the Mixed Area. The deeper hauls were numerically richer than the shallow hauls at more than half the stations. The existence of a diurnal vertical migration was revealed in certain cases, but varied greatly from cruise to cruise.4. In horizontal distribution the greatest concentrations of S. elegans were found within the central homogeneous water ...
