Abstract
1. Observations are given on the vertical distribution of Sagitta elegans and S. setosa in the daytime.2. An account is given of the seasonal abundance of both species of Sagitta throughout the year as shown by collections made with oblique hauls with the 2-metre stramin ring-trawl and hauls with a bottom plankton net.3. An attempt is made to piece together as much as possible of the life-stories and habits of Sagitta in offshore waters off Plymouth on the basis of these and previous observations.Keywords
