Contributions to the life-history of the eel (Anguilla vulgaris, Flem.)

This treatise is based chiefly on investigations made on board the Danish investi­gation-steamer “Thor”, which was employed the most of June 1905 in the search for the larval stages of the eel (Leptocephalus brevirostris) in the Atlantic Ocean.

I have also collected information and material, especially on the ascent of the elvers, from various parts of West and North Europe.
