STATION 18. Lat. i8°3o'i5" N. Long. 66°i2'45" W. February 3, 1933

When the 6-foot beam trawl was lowered at ii : oo a.m., Morro 

 Castle Light bore 109°, west point of Salinas Island 138°. When the 

 trawl was surfaced at 11 : 40, the west point of Salinas Island bore 

 119°, Punta Cerro Gordo 258°. The depth ranged from 39 to 80 

 fathoms. 



The result was a water haul. 



STATION 19. Lat. i8°3i'io" N. Long. 66°is'45" W. February 3, 1933 



Lat. i8°32'3o" N. Long. 66°i9'35" W. 



An otter trawl was lowered at 11 : 54 a.m., the west point of Salinas 

 Island bearing 120°, Punta Cerro Gordo 256°. When the trawl was 

 taken up at i p.m., Punta Cerro Gordo bore 193°, and the west point 

 of Salinas Island 115°. The depth of the haul ranged from 200 to 

 420 fathoms. 



The catch yielded a few deep-sea fish, a young mackerel, and a 

 couple of small puffers ; also a few salpae and a larval crustacean. 



STATION 20. Lat. i8°4o'3o" N. Long. 66°i9'oo" W. February 3, 1933 



Lat. i8°38'3o" N. Long. 66°25'45" W. 



A modified young-fish trawl was put overboard at 3:05 p.m., 

 Morro Castle Light bearing 138°, Punta Cerro Gordo 187°. When 

 the trawl was surfaced at 5 : 40, the depth recorded for the bottom 

 was 960 to 1,000 fathoms. 



Owing to a kink in the wire, caused by the winch jumping a sheave 

 in the winch room, we lost about 100 fathoms with the net. 



While the last haul was in progress, a pair of Carachodon sharks 

 played about the stern of the ship. A bait put overboard was soon 

 snapped up, and Dr. Price and Mr. Weber were able to perform a 

 postmortem which yielded a lot of copepods and a tapeworm from 

 the stomach and one tapeworm from the intestines. 



STATION 21. Lat. i8°3o'2o" N. Long. 66°io'3o" W. February 4, 1933

When a 6-foot beam trawl was let down at 9 : 05 a.m. Morro Castle 

 Light bore 125°, west point of Salinas Island 208°. When the trawl 

 was brought in at 9: 52, Morro Castle Light was bearing 121° and 

 the west point of Salinas Island 160". The haul was made in a depth 

 ranging from 140 to 200 fathoms. 



It yielded a small lot of mollusks, a few brittlestars, some worms 

 and worm tubes, and a single hydroid.
