Summary of the 'Buccaneer' Toic-net Collections, toitli the number of Species 

 observed in each separate gathering. 



The surface tow-nettings are kept together, the under-surface are arranged according to 

 the depth at which the tow-nets were let down, and the whole of the tow-net gatherings 

 are arranged as near as possible in the order in which they were collected. In the 

 Table the figures 1, 2, 3, &c. above the line represent the number of the gathering as 

 near as possible in the order in which it was collected. " D " indicates that the 

 collection was made between 6 a.m. (inclusive) and 6 p.m., " N " that the collection was 

 made between G p.m. (inclusive) and 6 a.m., " SD " or " SN " that the collection was 

 made inshore during the day or night. The figures under the line show the number of 

 species observed in each separate gathering. Thus : — " Surface, -yt'' indicates that 

 No. 3 tow-netting was a surface gathering collected between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., and that 

 sixteen species of Copepoda were observed in it. " Surface, ' ! ," indicates that No. 73 

 was an inshore gathering collected between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., in which five species of 

 Copepoda were observed. " 100 fms., ^," indicates that No. 8 was a gathering from
