An analysis of the foregoing table shows that Alcyonaria w^ere 

 dredged at 112 stations out of the 103 dredging stations recorded for 

 the Haw^aiian cruise. It should be remembered, however, that the 

 bottom 'was of such nature, being in a notably volcanic region, that a 

 large percentage of the hauls were unsuccessful. 



In all its long history the Albatross has never lost and ruined so 

 much dredging gear in any one cruise as she did in the Haw-aiian 

 region. It is altogether likely that nearly half of all the successful 

 hauls yielded alcyonarians, showing an exceedingly rich bottom for 

 these forms. There are 161 lots of Alcyonaria in the collection, a 

 " lot " being all of the specimens of a single species secured at a given 

 station. 



Two or more species w^ere secured at 32 of the stations: three or 

 more at 11 stations. Four species were secured at Station 3397, near
