OCEANIC TINTINNOINA OF LAST CRUISE OF CARNEGIE 



Total 44.877 



It will be seen that a wider area of the oceans was covered 

 than has been investigated before by almost any other 

 single expedition. The wealth of physical data that 

 accompanies the plankton catches makes this voyage 

 especially valuable. 



The natural areas of distribution covered are these: the 

 Gulf Stream, the Atlantic drift, the North Sea, the 

 American cold-water region, the Sargasso Sea, the 

 Atlantic equatorial region, the Caribbean Sea, the East 



Asiatic marginal sea, the Alaskan secondary region, the 

 North Pacific middle latitudes, the California region, the 

 North Pacific trade region, the Pacific equatorial region, 

 the Galapagos region, the region of South Pacific island 

 fields, and the South Pacific middle latitudes. In each of 

 these sixteen areas some Tintinnoina were found. In the 

 accounts of occurrence, the order of the ship's route is 

 followed. 



A total of 648 phials was examined. Of these, 272 were 

 in net samples and 376 were in pump samples. There- 

 were 70 net samples from the Atlantic and 202 from the 

 Pacific. Of pump samples, there were 58 from the 

 Atlantic and 318 from the Pacific. No net samples were 

 available from stations 86 to 94 inclusive, as there was no 

 residual lot remaining at the time this investigation was 

 in progress. Scattered net samples were also missing 

 throughout the collection, but pump samples were ob- 

 tained at these stations. In 51 of the net samples no 

 Tintinnoina were recorded. These are Carnegie samples
