contained Cuttlefish remains. 3. July 22nd: 74° 49’, 10° 30’ W.; 
contained Cuttlefish remains, hundreds of mandibles and crystal- 
line lenses, and the fleshy portions, in a more or less digested 
condition, of at least eleven specimens of Gonatus fabricii 
(determined by Mr. W. HE. Hoyle); also crustacean remains 
belonging to two different species, both large and bright red in 
colour,—the largest Pasiphaé tarda, which was also present in 
ereatest. quantity, measuring six inches in length, the other 
Hymourdora glacialis, Buchholz, 24 inches (the latter also deter- 
mined by Prof. Sars). 4. August 12th : 73°41’.,15° W.; contained 
Cuttlefish remains (specimens recognised as belonging to Gonatus 
fabricit by Mr. Hoyle). 
Saddle Seal, Pagophilus greenlandicus.—1. June 16th: 75°50’, 
6° 9’ W.; contained Huthemisto libellula, Mandt and Lichtenstein, 
and Nyctiphanes norvegica (the former determined by the Rey. 
T. R, R. Stebbing, M.A., of Tunbridge Wells, the latter by Dr. 
Murray). 2. July 9th: 74° 49’, 11° 40’ W.; contained Z. libel- 
- lula alone. 
Hooded or Bladder-nose Seal, Cystophora cristata.—July 9th: 
74° 49’, 11° 40’ W. 1. Bluish mud or ooze, with a few fishes’ 
eyes and crustacean remains, Huthemisto libellula. With regard 
to the mud Mr. F. G. Pearcey, of the ‘ Challenger’. Commission, 
reports as follows :—A blue mud, coherent, homogeneous, gritty ; 
shows no perceptible effervescence when treated with dilute HCl. 
A few fragments of sponge spicules and one or two diatoms were all 
_ the organisms observed: the mineral particles make up probably 
_ 50 per cent. of the whole, having a mean diameter of 0°2 mm., 
angular and rounded, consisting of quartz, zircon, feldspar, 
hornblende, olidine?, mica, magnetite, and some red-brown 
coloured particles like glauconite ; silicious organisms 2 per cent., 
sponge, spores, and diatoms; fine washings 28 per cent., consisting 
of argillaceous matter and many fine mineral particles. 2. Mud 
alone present: according to Mr. Pearcey the mud present in this 
stomach is similar to the last, but the mineral particles are 
somewhat larger, the mean diameter being 0°3 mm.: the same 
organisms are present. 38. Mud alone present, similar to the 
_ above, according to Mr. Pearcey, but contains in addition a few 
small otoliths of fish and beaks of cephalopods. 4. Aug. 22nd:
