During these hauls the following observations were 
made:— 
Wind, fresh W.S.W. 
Weather, fine; sea smooth ; 
Barometer, 30°5; 
Air temperature, 8°°6 C.; 
Sea temperature at surface, 9°°8 C.; 
i ~ “bottom 10°: 0.Cs 
Specifie gravity at surface, 10242; 
a - bottom, 1:024; 
Depth, 4 fathoms; transparency, 5 feet. 
The common invertebrates taken in the nets during 
these hauls were:—Oysters (about 12), Turritella (very 
numerous), Pagurus, Buecinum, Portunus, Polynoe, 
O phiura, Serpula (on the oysters), small actinians (on the 
oysters), Sertularia, Asterias, Solaster, and one male lobster 
113 inches long. Only one tow-netting was taken, but 
very few organisms were obtained, the commonest being 
Pleurobrachia. 
The object of these hauls was to ascertain whether 
small plaice (3 to 6 inches long) were present to any great 
extent in Wigton Bay. It was possible to find time for 
only two short hauls on the west side of the Bay, and these 
yielded very few small fish of the size in question.
