DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN 



Our plan after leaving Bojador was to undertake a series of 

 trawlings over the coast banks and continental edge. This 



Fig. 55.— Three Coast Fishes from Station 37, 39 metres (about 20 fathoms). 



a. Serranus cabrilla, L. Nat. size, 21 cm. 



b. Corisjidis, L. Nat. size, 18 cm. 



c. ScorpcETia scrofa, L. Nat. size, 48 cm. 



proved, however, a matter of great difficulty. Both at Station 

 37 (see Fig. 55) in 39 metres of water, and at Station 38 (see 

 Fig. 56) in "]"] metres, the trawl stuck fast on the hard bottom.
