A-41, 



This species was also seen in selected slides and a film from 

 Oceanographer Canyon. Three whips Virgularia mirabilis ^ 

 Acanthoptilum grandiflorum and Baltiaina finmarchica were 

 seen in the study area, as well as species of Umhellula and 

 Radiaipes . Dasmosmilia lymani was found on the continental 

 shelf between Wilmington and Hudson Canyons. Eunephthya 

 florida was found in Heezen and Corsair Canyons. 



A detailed mapping of the corals is possible for those 

 dives where we have accurate dive track information. 



The locations of dominant coral species seen during 

 dives 808, 809, and 810 in Norfolk Canyon are mapped in 

 Figure E4 . Aaanthogorgia armata^ Desmophyllum aristagalli 

 and Flabellum alabastvum are present on outcrops shallower 

 than 1200 meters. During dive 809 sea pens, Pennatula sp. 

 and Anthomastus grandif torus are found on the soft substrate. 

 Dive 810 was the deepest dive in this area and many indivi- 

 duals of Pennatula sp. and Anthomastus grandiflorus were 

 seen, while Flabellum alabastrum and Eunephthya frutioosa 

 were less common. Except for E. frutioosa these corals are 

 restricted to soft substrates. 



Figure E5 is a map of the corals occurring between 

 Baltimore and Hudson Canyons. It shows the location of 

 corals seen in the heads of Toms and Carteret Canyons as 

 well as those seen at DWD-106. As was previously mentioned, 

 the white sea pen and other undifferentiated sea pens were 

 seen in the shallow region. Eunephthya frutioosa^
