PLATE 14 



Figs. A-F. — Station 28, upper slope, west of canyon, 140-160 fms. 



A-F, Silty mud bottom (note cloud trailing compass in A and F). Abundant small 

 burrows, some of which may be due to worm tubes. Tubes of polychaete worms 

 (Hyalinoecia tubicola), most lying on bottom and some projecting obliquely (see 

 D center), common throughout station; note alignment of tubes in B and C. 

 Bottom-living flatfish of the type seen in D may be responsible for wavy tracks 

 ("fin tracks", arrow 1 in A and E) and subcircular depressions ("fish-nest", 

 arrow 2 in F). A canceroid crab occurs in the upper left corner of E (arrow 3).
