The above is the stopping place of the dredging operations during 

 this haul. The bearing at the start was not recorded. 



For this haul a modified young-fish trawl, operated by the hydro- 

 graphic winch, was used. A rectangular f -inch pipe frame, 3 by 6 feet 

 in size, was substituted for the otterboards. The net was let down at 

 3 p.m. in 600 fathoms with 3,000 meters of wire out. We held course 

 115° by gyrocompass until 4 p.m., when the cable was started in, the 

 net reaching the deck at 4: 35. 



This haul yielded 396 small deep-sea fish, three species of pteropod 

 and one of heteropod moUusks, a host of small crustaceans, some 

 sagitta, a few medusae, and some fish eggs.

A modified young-fish trawl was put overboard at 9 : 55 a.m. Morro 

 Castle Light bore 231° and the west end of Cabras Island 240°. When 

 the hauling in began at 10: 50, Morro Castle Light bore 248° and the 

 dome of San Juan Capitol 242°. 



The haul was made in about 100 fathoms and resulted in the capture 

 of a small number of fish ; some small pelagic mollusks, including a 

 small octopus, heteropods, and pteropods ; and a small lot of crustaceans 

 and salpae.

We lowered an otter trawl with new large boards at 11:35 ^-m- 

 Punta Cangrejos bore 161° and Punta Vacia Talega 120°. At the 

 close of the haul Punta Vacia Talega bore 159° and Punta Cangrejos 

 235°. The depths of this haul ranged from 160 to 340 fathoms. 



During the middle of the haul there was a vicious jerk, indicating 

 that the gear snagged. When we landed the net, it was found that one 

 of the otterboards was lost and the trawl completely wrecked. A 

 single umbellula caught in the wreckage rewarded us for our efiforts.

Lat. i8°33'i5" N. Long. 65°56'4S" W. 



When we lowered the modified fish trawl at i : 35 p.m., Punta 

 Vacia Talega bore 165° and Punta Morro 255°. When the trawl 

 was taken in, Punta Vacia Talega bore 165°, Punta Morro 246°. 

 The haul was made in about 300 fathoms. The trawl evidently struck 

 heavy mud bottom and filled with enough of the mud to completely 

 rip out the webbing.
