NO. I 1ST JOHNSON EXPEDITION: STATIONS BARTSCH 29 



Neocrinus and several specimens of another stalked crinoid, Endoxo- 

 crinus parrae. There were also a lot of comatulids and some beautiful 

 specimens of Astrophyton attached to hydroids. We likewise obtained 

 a host of deep-sea fish, moUusks, brachiopods, crustaceans, sponges, 

 hydroids, anemones, worm tubes, etc. Dr. Price obtained a number 

 of parasites from larger fish.

An otter trawl was lowered at 4:42 p.m. and surfaced at 6: 10, 

 the water varying from 150 to 400 fathoms in depth. 



During this haul, the accumulator indicated that we had snagged, 

 and upon surfacing the line, it was found that only the bridle of the 

 otter trawl was present, the boards and the net having been torn away. 

 On the rope, however, there was a piece of a hydroid containing an 

 Astrophyton. 



Beginning in the evening and continuing until the next morning, 

 T. T. Brown and Fenimore Johnson, assisted by Anthony Wilding 

 and Ena and Florence Douglass, took soundings. These extended 

 over two lines parallel to the one previously made, one 20 miles to 

 the north and another 20 miles to the south. Soundings on these lines 

 were also spaced at 5-mile intervals. The former middle line was 

 also extended east to coincide with these two parallel lines. The three, 

 therefore, are 235 miles in length. There was also a line of soundings 

 run north from the last dredging station to the parallel sounding 

 lines, on which stations were made at 5-mile intervals. All these, 

 together with their depths, are plotted on the accompanying chart. 

 A detailed report of these soundings with bearings will be published 

 in a separate paper.

When we lowered the Chesapeake Bay oyster dredge at 8: 53 a.m., 

 Morro Castle Light bore 111° and the western end of Salinas Island 

 136°. When it was surfaced at 9:41, the western end of Salinas 

 Island bore 121° and the eastern end 116°. The depth ranged from 

 80 to 120 fathoms. 



We had lined the chain-linked oyster trawl with ^-inch webbing, 

 and the haul brought up a bagful of bottom, containing a host of 

 mollusks, crustaceans, crinoids, sponges, and other forms.
