in tin- seal's stomach. The seal had a recent sear lietween the angle of the mouth 

 anil the anjde of the lower jaw, alxuit -1 inche- l.ni^, which was Itcginnilig to heal up. 

 I'mlerneath the -mr on the miter -urfaee <if the lower jaw there was an area of aeiite

 with the exception of two bands on either side of the middle line of the bdoOMB win-re 

 the old \elln\\ish coat was seen. This new coat was of a paler grey than those other 

 A../,,../,,/!.-.- we have previously raptured and seen, and the markings were not sodistim-t. 

 The eyes appeared to be more prominent, and the ionhattd bvotdtt ami flatter. The 

 toe-nails of all the Lobodons are complete, five on each flipper. \ siphonophore tentacle 

 was caught on the sounding wire. 



March 4th, 68 22* 8. 32 35' W. Snowy petrels very numerous. Terns and 

 antarctic petrels not so plentiful as yesterday. Saw two seals swimming and some 

 grampuses. The two seals seemed to be Lobodon from the appearance of their 

 heads. 



March 5th, 68" 11' S. 34" 17' W. Snowy petrels and terns in great numbers and 

 a few antarctic petrels. A few grampuses were seen, one of them had its dorsal fin 

 broken. The Monagasque trawl was lowered in 1280 fathoms. The dynomometer 

 registered a maximum strain of 1^ tons. This was a purely experimental lowering 

 not intended to reach the bottom. Three or four species of animals were secured includ- 

 ing Sagitta, Doliolum, a medusoid and another coelenterate. Sea slightly phosphorescent 

 at 9.45 P.M. 



March 6th, 67 39' S. 36 10' W. Snowy petrels, and a good many terns, one 

 nelly and a few antarctic petrels. Captain saw a school of grampuses. Over 100 

 penguins were seen during the day ; some of them were black-throated, the others 

 could not be made out. The trawl was lowered away with 1850 fathoms of wire rope, 

 but owing to an accident it had to be hauled up again before reaching bottom (2500 

 fathoms). Maximum pressure 2 tons 8 cwts. Nevertheh-s- -ev.-ral animals wen- 

 secured, two species of nemerteans, specimens of Sagitta, two pterpods, a Urge ostracod, 

 besides some unknown species. 



March 7th, 67 33' S. 36" 35' W. Snowy petrels still numerous ; terns, one nelly 

 and Mack-throated penguins make up the list of birds seen to-day. Lowered away 

 trawl to 2500 fathoms bottom and dragged for three-ijuarters of an hour, securing one 

 fish. 1 one gasteropod, three lamellibranchs, two fragments of small crustaceans, four or 

 five species of holotlmrians, a flat sea-urchin, two spines of a sea-urchin, stalked 

 crinoids, brittle stare, and two species of alcyonaria, a sponge ami many spieules, t
