The “shark (Heterodontus philippi)” again appears, and is: re- 
corded from seventy-eight stations. A reference to my previous note 
on this subject will show that the record is without doubt an erroneous 
one. 
Mr. Ayson writes, “ Mr. Waite’s official duties prevented him from 
accompanying this cruise ; and it is a matter for regret that no marine 
biologist accompanied the expedition, as it afforded an exceptional 
opportunity for collecting specimens and studying marine life along a 
great range of the coast-line of New Zealand.” 
PARTICULARS OF STATIONS. 
Information supplied under “ Locality ” is approximate only, and 
refers to the position of the vessel when the trawl was “ shot.” Accu- 
rate bearings will be given in the official report, and this, when pub- 
lished, should be consulted by those interested.
