 Island. The following is a summary of the observations 

 made on this expedition : — 



(A) Turbot Hole, off Puffin Island, sixteen fathoms; 

 two good hauls : — Gucumaria planci, Tliyonidium drum- 

 mondi, Zoophytes, and many other things. 



(B) West of "Little Mouse," round Point Lynas, nine- 

 teen fathoms, gravel, shells and sand; one haul : — Hydrac- 

 tiniay Sponges, Dentalium and Echinocyamus. 



(C) Off Porthwen Bay, seventeen fathoms; one haul: — 

 Pecten varius, Fissurella grceca, Gyprcea europea, Antedon, 

 Sabellaria, Fhascolosoma vulgare {Syrinx liarveyi), Den- 

 talium entale, and Ascidians {Ascidia plebeia, Styela 

 grossularia, and Polycarpa pomaria). 



(D) Same, two miles off shore, twenty to twenty-two 

 fathoms; two hauls: — Garveia nutans, Antenmdaria 

 ramosa, Antedon rosaceus, Fissurella grceca, Murex erina- 

 ceus, Natica, Nucula and Gellepora. 



(E) Off Point Lynas ; in first haul lost large dredge, then 

 one haul with small dredge : — Spatangus purpureus in sand. 



(F) Off Dulas Island, thirteen to fifteen fathoms, sand 

 and shells : — Solaster papposa, Sponges and Ascidians. 



(G) Same, further off land, twenty fathoms : — Spatangus 

 purpureus in abundance. 



(H) Off middle of Eed Wharf Bay, twenty fathoms : —

(I) Tm'bot Hole, sixteen fathoms ; one haul : — Same 

 results as before. 



These hauls yielded many interesting Crustacea to 

 Mr. Walker. Some of the best of these were obtained 

 by placing the sand and gravel brought up in the dredge 

 in dishes of sea water, when many Amphipods swam out.
