 Atlanta, Hyalea, Stjliola, Cuvieria, Tiedemannia ; very active large 

 Ostracod of reddish color and with a transparent shell ; AppendiculariiE,

 of the same species as those brought up from the bottom in the sound- 

 ing-cup. 



Station 14. Lat. 6" 41' N., long. 1-37' W. At 150 fathoms and to surfiice. 

 In general the same things as at the surface. Leptocephalus, SalpiV and 

 many Pteropods, Pyrosoma, young fishes, Siphonophore bells, many 

 Squilla embryos, Oxyrhynchus, also Sergestes, not many Copepods, the 

 few collected were very large.

 face. Large Cestum, a few Copepods and Euphausia^, Eretmocaris, large

 day, very large Atlanta, Spinalis, Styliola, a few Tomopteris, Sagitta, the 

 remarkable Tunicate, Octacnemus, figured by Moseley, a few colonies of a 

 small Pyrosoma, Globigerina^, Halobates. 



Station 16. Lat. 2 ' 38' N., long. 137' 16' W. At 250 fathoms and to surface. 

 Fine haul. Many Pelagothuria3, Diphyes, Diphyopsis, Turris, Leptocepha- 

 lus, young fishes and mollusks, Copepods, Penajids, Euphausia), Tomopteris, 

 and other pelagic worms; Pteropods, Hyalea, Atlanta, Styliola, Spirialis, 

 Sagittse, Salpa3 ; the Salpo3 full of Radiolarians ; CoUozoum, no Globigerina? 

 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, 

 Pelagothuriie, a number of large red Schizopods, Penasids, and large red 

 Copepods, Sergestes, large transparent Phyllodoce with spots on the side, 

 a large Ostracod with chocolate-brown colored sliell, 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.
