General Note on the above samples. The present soundings 

 are taken from new ground so far as the microzoa are con- 

 cerned. That from off Cape Wiles is the only locality which 

 was approached by the " Challenger/' but even that (Station 

 160, 2600 fathoms) was situated much farther south and in 

 deeper water. It is not surprising, therefore, that so many 

 points of interest arise from an examination of the present 

 material dredged by the " Endeavour."
