No. 5.] WHITEAVES — DEEP-SEA DREDGING. 261 



Fishes — A fine living example of Macriirus rupesfris (Fab.)^ 

 the M. Fahridl of Sundevall, was brought up by '^ tangles '* 

 from a depth of about 200 fathoms. 



During this cruise we were driven into Gaspe Bay for shelter 

 from a heavy gale blowing outside, and were detained there 

 ;about four days. At the entrance of the bay, some dredging 

 was done in depths of from 30 to 50 fathoms. The most inter- 

 esting forms obtained here were Myriotrochus Rinckil Steenstr. ; 

 PriapuJus caudatus ; both species of Hyas ; an undetermined 

 ■\ Eudorella ; Acanthozone, nov. sp., fide S. I. Smith ; f Syrrhoe 

 '€?*ew ?t/af MS Goes (several) ; f Vei-tinymus se7'ratvs Goes; "fPonto- 

 poreia femorata Kroyer ; f Haploops, sp. ; f Melita dentata 

 Kroyer, and an allied species; as well as some interesting sponges. 

 t Gammarus ornatus Edwards, was abundant at low-water in St. 

 George's Cove ; it appears to be a common littoral form through- 

 out the Gulf. 



Cruise 2. — We left Gaspe Basin on August 2d, intending first 

 to examine the two largest of the inshore banks, the Orphan and 

 the Bradelle. At the outset the weather was very stormy, so 

 we got under the lee of Bona venture Island, and dredged outside 

 the northern entrance to the Bay des Chaleurs, from Cape De- 

 spair to a little below Grand Pabou. Ophioglypha /Sarsiij of 

 large size, was abundant here, and two specimens of 3Iyriotrochus 

 Rlncldi were taken in the same place. The crustaceans from 

 this region are unusually interesting : among them are f Hip- 

 pohjte macllenta Kr. ; Thysanopoda negJectaf Kr. ; Pseiidomnia 

 (nov. sp.) ; species of f Mysidce " near to Erythrojys and Parery. 

 throps of G. 0. Sars"; f Eudorella, sp. ; -f Leucon nasicus 

 Kroyer; j Acanthostejyhia 3Iahngreni Boeck; (Ediceros lynceus 

 M. Sars ; f Aceros phyllonyx Boeck ; f Byhlis Gaimardii Kro- 

 jer; j Pontojjoreia femorata Kroyer; a species of ■{ Melita. 

 Also a curious fish, at present undetermined. 



The breeze moderating, we at once made for the Orphan Bank. 

 and devoted three days to dredging on it, remaining on the ground 

 during the nio-ht so as to lose no time. The Orphan Bank, 

 which is situated nearly opposite the entrance to the Bay des 

 Chaleurs, is a stony patch, as are most of the fishing banks 

 jnany of which are not mapped out in the charts. 



The masses of rock are often of large size, and consist chiefly 

 of a reddish sandstone (perforated by Saxicava and Zirphc^a 

 ^crispata) associated with a few scattered pieces of Laurentiaa
