 besides another bright red one, probablv a new species. Four paddies were seen about 

 the ship, also a snowy petrel flying above Wilton Bay. The fish caught in No. 1 trap 

 measured 12J ins. in length, its weight was I lb., and it was a male. 



June 24th. Three or four paddies were seen about the ship, and many snowy 

 petrels were seen around Point Martin.

 chitons, an isopod, several pycnogons, twelve or more polycliaeto. two terebellids with

 a pair, and an abundance of amphipods. and three \\orm- withsuckeiS were found on tin- 

 under surface of the larger isopod. This trap was shifted on the 23rd hist, to a new 

 hole further south, in the same depth, 27 fathoms. The ice in Uruguay Cove has been 

 driven out and carried the trap No. :', with it. A new hole in 10 fathoms has been cut 

 to the south of No. I i rap-hole but further in>hmv. and the new trap will be put down
