The preceding list is a more than usually valuable one, not only because of the care 

 with which all the localities were recorded, but also because of the accuracy with which 

 the various physical conditions were determined at the different stations. 



From a faunistic point of view, however, it is obviously very incomplete, owing to 

 the fact that collecting in shallow water, where Cephalopods are certainly most abundant, 

 formed a comparatively small part of the work of the Expedition, and partly also 

 because it was from the very nature of the case impossible that any one voyage, how- 

 ever protracted, should explore more than a very small portion of the sea. Such being 

 the case, and seeing that, so far as I am aware, no attempt has hitherto been made to 

 give a complete survey of the existing species of this group arranged geographically.
