3. Sta. 2128 (no. 224). 0.3 mi off Long Pt.. in 42-67 fnis. Biological 

 dredge took sand, dead Laqueus with / erfuiliopsis, alcyonarian and soli- 

 tary corals; echinoderms of diversified kinds, including asteroids, ophi- 

 uroids, echinoids. holothurians, a crinoid. IMollusks included an octopus, 

 key hole limpets, and various pelecypods and gastropods. Bryozoans were 

 encrusting and stalked. Crustaceans were diversified, with amphipods, 

 isopods, tanaids, cumaceans, ostracods, stalked barnacle, commensal 

 crabs, spider crabs, and cancroids. Polychaetes were diversified, with at 

 least 80 species. No one species was conspicuously abundant. 



4. Sta. 2855 (no. 238). Off White Cove, in 36 fms. OPG took an 

 unmeasured amount of black sandy mud with reddish brown waxy 

 lumps. No species was outstandingly large ; most abundant was Chloeia 

 pinnata with 70 specimens; Glottidia albida was present with 14 small 

 individuals. Coelenterates were represented by ceriantharians (4 small), 

 and a small anemone. Several small nemerteans and nematodes ; crusta- 

 ceans with amphipods (12), isopods (2), and ostracods were also 

 present. 



5. Sta. 2144 (no. 224). Off Long Pt.. in 45 fms. OPG took 1.6 cuft 

 of fine black sand in two grabs. Coelenterates were represented by small 

 specimens of ceriantharian (6), anemones (2), nemerteans (2), and a 

 long, slender sipunculid (1); crustaceans by amphipods (25), brown 

 ostracods (31), cumaceans (3), isopods (3), a tanaid (1), and a small 

 crab (2). The most abundant species were Aricidea spp. (112), Spio 

 punctata {^Z) , Chaetozonc setosa (27). The fauna is that characteristic 

 of the outer shelf. 



6. Sta. 5727 (no. 225). S of Long Pt., in 57 fms. OPG took 0.37 

 cuft of glauconitic white shelly sand, with broken Laqueus shells, and 

 diversified small animals. Crustaceans included a brown ostracod (more 

 than a hundred), numerous ostracods and amphipods, and sparse num- 

 bers of cumaceans and isopods. The most conspicuous animals were 

 Ophiothrix spiculata (more than 10) and Nothria iridescens (25) ; the 

 most numerous were Aricidea spp. (more than 84). 



7. Sta. 2365 (no. 210). Off Long Pt., in 300 fms. OPG took 1.57 

 cuft of gray-green sand and mud, with dead shells of Limopsis, Cadulus, 

 small moon snail, turret top shells. Largest specimen was Brisastcr town- 

 sendi, and most conspicuous Chloeia pinnata (6). The sample contained 

 an echiuroid fragment, two amphipods, and a polyclad. Characteristic 

 species of this depth are Maldane sarsi, Limifossor diegcnsis, and Brisas- 

 tcr townsendi.
