 we had to sort tin- catch by lamp-li^ht. 



The cati-h wa- an excellent one, and everyone on lxrd was interested in sorting it, 

 which took us till two o'clock on the following morning, for the greater part, and till 

 noon on Tuesday before everything was Urttled. 1 There wax a great abundance of 

 sponges, and a kind of hrvozoa. As we sorted the material out in comparative dark- 

 ness, phosphorescence wa- oli-crved in some of the fishes, hryozoa, sponges, aleyonarians, 

 and in one large crab. 



A)M. ut -c\cnty sj)ecies were included in tin- catch, of which the following is a 

 rough list.
