PRELIMINARY REPORT. 91 
large species; large transparent Amphipod; Salpe with large red 
nucleus; large Sagitte2, Collozoum; marked absence of Euphausix and 
other pelagic Macrurans, no Rhizopods on the surface ; Pteropods, many 
Atlanta, Hyalea, Styliola, Cuvieria, Tiedemannia; very active large 
Ostracod of reddish color and with a transparent shell; Appendicularia, 
Globigerine, Amphyon Reynaudi. The Salpw were full of Radiolarians 
of the same species as those brought up from the bottom in the sound- 
ing-cup. 
Station 14. Lat. 6°41’ N., long. 137° W. At 150 fathoms and to surface. 
In general the same things as at the surface. Leptocephalus, Salpa and 
many Pteropods, Pyrosoma, young fishes, Siphonophore bells, many 
Squilla embryos, Oxyrhynchus, also Sergestes, not many Copepods, the 
few collected were very large. 
Station 15. Lat. 4° 35’ N., long. 136° 54’ W. At 150 fathoms and to sur- 
face. Large Cestum, a few Copepods and Euphausie, Eretmocaris, large 
white Macruran, small Saphirina-like Copepod, the same Salpe as yester- 
day, very large Atlanta, Spirialis, Styliola, a few Tomopteris, Sagitta, the 
remarkable Tunicate, Octacnemus, figured by Moseley, a few colonies of a 
small Pyrosoma, Globigerins, Halobates. 
Station 16. Lat. 2° 38’ N., long. 187° 16’ W. At 250 fathoms and to surface. 
Fine haul. Many Pelagothuriw, Diphyes, Diphyopsis, Turris, Leptocepha- 
lus, young fishes and mollusks, Copepods, Penaids, Euphausiz, Tomopteris, 
and other pelagic worms; Pteropods, Hyalea, Atlanta, Styliola, Spirialis, 
Sagittae, Salpe ; the Salpz full of Radiolarians ; Collozoum, no Globigerine 
or Radiolarians at surface. 
Tanner net, at 330-350 fathoms. In the closed lower bag only a couple 
of Copepods were obtained. In the open upper bag four species of fishes, 
Pelagothuriz, a number of large red Schizopods, Penzids, and large red 
Copepods, Sergestes, large transparent Phyllodoce with spots on the side, 
a large Ostracod with chocolate-brown colored shell, all of which have been 
obtained before at a less depth. 
Station 18, Lat. 6° 25’ S., long. 138° 59’ W. At 400 fathoms and to surface. 
Net carried away; too rough. Fragments of Sigalion, a couple of young 
fishes, small Octopus, large Copepods, a few Euphausiw, a large Bentho-
