Dredging Stations 



Table 1, below, is taken from G. E. MacGinitie (1955, pp. 62-63). 

 Fifty-two of these stations were at depths of less than 225 feet and only- 

 six exceeded 400 feet. Stations 29 and 30-31 represent the shoreward 

 and oceanward floors, respectively, bordering tlie submarine canyon 

 mentioned above. Eluitkak Pass is a unique station in that although 

 it is only 35 to 40 feet deep, it is covered with rubble and with mud 

 and gravel admixed, and it supports a fauna found at other stations 

 at depths of not less than 110 feet. The most striking difference be- 

 tween the fauna of Eluitkak Pass and that of rubble bottom stations 

 at depths of 110 to 200 feet is the absence of echinoderms and chitons 

 at the Pass, this absence no doubt being due to dilution by fresh water
