the preceding voyag^e, I had become acquainted 

 with many remarkable productions of the ocean 

 My best plan will be, to arrange in a chronological 

 order all the zoological observations which offered 

 in the course of this voyage. The first, then, was 

 the result of a contrary wind, by which we were 

 detained much longer than we intended in the Bal - 

 tic, and thus enabled to use our deep fishing-nets 

 upon the great banks: these brought to light a 

 considerable number of marine animals. Upon the 

 branches of the spongia dichotoma, some of which 

 were twelve inches in length, sat swarms of Ophiura 

 fragilis, Asterias rubens, Inachus araneus, I. Phalan- 

 gium, I. Scorpio, Galathea strigosa, and Caprdla 

 scolopendroides Lam. We obtained, at the same

 ahieiina, upon which nothing of the animal kind 

 was to be seen, but attached to which was fre- 

 quently found Flustra dentata ; also Pagurus Bernhar- 

 diis, Fksus antiquus, Rostellaria pes i)elecaniy Car- 

 dium echinatinn, Ascidia Prunum, Balanus sulcafus, 

 Echinus saxafilis, and Spatangus flavesccns. Two 

 different species of ActinicB, seated on stones, were 

 brought up, which were not to be found either in 

 Pennant's British Zoology, or in the Faima danica. 



During a calm, by which we were detained two 

 days on the Portuguese coast, Janthma fragilis and 

 exigiia, Rhizophijsa Jiliformis, and another species, 

 were brought up. Many specimens of the Janthina 

 exigua were found, the bladder-like mass of which
