During the season IQI0-II opportunities occurred for only 
four deep-sea trawls. These were all taken off the S. W. coast of 
India, and the detailed positions are as follows :—

Although the material obtained was by no means plentiful, 
several interesting species were found, notably a fine example of 
Trachichthys darwinit and an egg-capsule and the contained 
embryo of a species of Rhinochimaera. 
Unfortunately, owing to the presence of a large number of 
shells of Xenophora pallidula in trawl 391, the material obtained 
was, in several instances, badly damaged ; while in trawl 390 the 
net caught on arock and was much torn, the only fish obtained 
being the example of Tvachichthys that had very fortunately be- 
come entangled by its opercular spines in the meshes of the net - 
close to the mouth.
