fathoms, Globigerina ooze, and at the next station, 297, lat. 37° 29'S., 
302 miles from Juan Fernandez, only a single specimen of Thenea is 
recorded; while at Station 298, lat. 34° 7° 8., 122 miles from Valparaiso, 
nearly 100 specimens of Invertebrates were obtained, belonging to thirty- 
three species, and the hauls from Valparaiso south to the Gulf of Pefias, in 
1325 to 2160 fathoms, at no time more than 450 miles from shore, in
