The following separate Lists, representing about 16'6 per cent, of the entire number of 

 the ' Buccaneer ' tow-nettings, are given for the purpose of showing, among other details, 

 the comparative differences in the general grouping of species in gatherings collected at 

 the surface from others collected at various depths. 



The richest hauls — that is, those containing the greatest number of species — were 

 uuder-surface gatherings, and were, with few exceptions, from no very extreme depths. 

 Several o-ood catclies were also obtained by working the tow-net at the surface during 

 the night (see Table II.). The gathering that yielded the greatest number of species was 

 No. 62 from 300 fathoms, collected during the middle of the day, on January 22nd, in 

 lat. 1° 55' 5'' N., long. 5° 55' 5" E. ; forty-seven species were obtained in this gathering. 

 The collection that appeared to contain the greatest number of individuals was No. 113, 

 from 30 fathoms, collected during the middle of the day, on Tebruary 5th, at Station 23.
