350 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [Aug.-Sept., 1913. 
This haul included a large number of Aleyonacea and Gor- 
gonacea, representing about twenty different species; several 
sponges and corals were also present. Attached to these were 
numerous Ophiuroids and Crinoids. The fish were not numer- 
ous and those that were obtained were small, but on the other 
hand the Crustacea were particularly well represented. 
The following species have been identified :—
