 the Grenadines, Grenada, extended the dredgings as far as the 100-

 Bulletin, while the depths, latitudes, and longitudes, nature of bottom, 

 original numbers of casts, and letters designating lines are mainly taken 

 from " Hydrographic Notice No. 9 of 1882," published by the U. S. Hy- 

 drographic Office, with the exception of about a dozen hauls, to which 

 no latitudes or longitudes are affixed.
