Abstract
In the course of the researches on the vertical distribution of plankton it became evident that a net was needed for sampling the water-layers very close to the sea bottom. While the net had to be efficient in capturing the plankton animals present in those layers, it was necessary that the catches should not be vitiated by the presence of bottom-living organisms which had been stirred up from the sea floor by the net itself.Keywords
