120 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
The temperatures of the air were taken, in part, with a Jas. Green, in 
part with a Signal Service, thermometer; the temperatures of the bottom 
and surface waters were obtained by means of Negretti and Zambra deep- 
sea thermometers. The bearings are all magnetic. As the bearings 
and latitudes and longitudes indicate nly the points at which the dredge 
or trawl was lowered upon the bottom, the direction of the drift of the 
vessel and the distance gone over in dredging and trawling have been 
given in most cases, to show the extent of the hauls. The figures in the 
eolumn of ‘‘ Drift” indicate the distance of the drift in miles. The abbre- 
viations in the column of “Apparatus used” have the following significa- 
tions: D., dredge; R. D., rake-dredge; O. D., oyster-dredge; T., trawl; 
O. T., otter-trawl; B. T., Blake-trawl; Tan., tangles; C. T., cod-trawl. 
The New York fishing schooner, Josie Reeves, Capt. F. M. Redmond 
employed by the Fish Commission to look for the tile fish (Lopholatilus 
chameleonticeps) in the neighborhood of the one-hundred fathom line, 
south of Martha’s Vineyard, made five stations in that region, which for 
convenience sake have been given numbers in the regular series from 
1145 to 1149, inclusive. She used cod trawl-lines and lobster-pots.
