84 EXPEDITION OF THE “ALBATROSS,” 1899-1900. 
large Sagitta, Collozoum, Globigerinw, Geryonia, Aglaura; not so many 
Euphausiz as on the previous day, when they formed a perfect paste. 
Station 14. Lat. 6° 41’ N., long. 137° W. Very good haul. Apparently 
still in the equatorial current, judging from the amount of animal life in 
the surface-hauls. Blue Copepods, a large Saphirina, Salpee in great abun- 
dance, the principal part of haul consisted of them; Glaucus, young Cuttle- 
fish, several species of young pelagic fishes, a fine lot of Collozoum. No 
Euphausiz, Sergestes very common, young Physaliw, Nausithoé, Aegina, 
Diphyes. 
Same day, 8 p. m., lat. 5° 40’ N., long. 136° 47° W. Huge Pyrosome, 
beautifully phosphorescent, were very abundant, Salpxw, Sergestes, a few 
Copepods, Euphausixw, large Hyperidx, a few transparent Penaids, young 
fishes, large Appendicularis, Cydippe, same species obtained before, Gery- 
onia, Cestum, large Sagitte, and few smaller ones. 
Station 15. Lat. 4° 35° N., long. 136° 54’ W. Very poor haul. Few 
Copepods, Diphyes, bells of Agalma, large transparent fish-eggs, a few 
Sagittee, Collozoum, and Halobates. 
Same day, 8 p.m. Lat. 3° 28’ N., long. 136° 54’ W. A small black, 
blunt nosed fish, with luminous organs, a small fish with phosphorescent 
organs, hosts of Salpse, at least three species, Cydippe, Aglaura, Rhopalo- 
nema moving by convulsive jerks of the velum, Turris-like Medusa, small fly- 
ing-fish, huge Appendicularia houses, small Appendiculariz, two Copepods 
and Euphausie, Hyperia, Penseus with very long tentacles. Sagitta, bells 
of Diphyes and of Agalma, many Radiolarians in the stomachs of Salpe. It 
is astonishing how many Radiolarians and Globigerine the “ Challenger ” 
obtained in the open tow-nets; our experience near the line in the Pacific 
has thus far been quite the contrary. 
Station 16. Lat. 2° 38’ N., long. 137° 16’ W. Poor surface haul. A 
few Salpx, Copepods, Argulus, Collozoum, Sagitte, the same as before ; 
young Physalidx, the same Meduse as at Station 15, Turris (?), Huphausia, 
Penzeus, young Balanus larve, Diatoms, a fine large Tiedemannia; colder 
current running to Westward at rate of two knots. 
Same day, 8 p.m. Lat. 1° 45’ N., long. 137° 36’ W. Net full of surface 
animals, mainly small Sagittee, Appendicularia, very many Sergestes, small
