desired. The first evening’s work being so successful other 
opportunities were embraced, and in no case did I return home 
with my bottles empty; true, on one or two occasions, the wind 
was so strong, that once out, our only thought was to return; 
such disappointments must, of course, be expected occasionally. 
A whole afternoon was spent, about seven miles out, in twenty- 
five fathoms water, but unfortunately sea sickness damped much 
of the ardour of our collecting; and, but for the valuable assistance 
of one of our Vice-Presidents, the result would have been very

and Mollusca, the following were the captures: the two latter 
classes having been kindly furnished me by the Rev. A. M. Norman

Many Crustacea and Mollusca of small size were passed over. 
I need scarcely say, various sponges, zoophytes, and miscellaneous 
animals were also obtained.
