BEEDGINGS OF THE SHEAEWATEE, 1871. 



In 1871 the steamer Shearwater made some dredgings on the coral 

 banks between Sicily and Cape Bon, in depths of not more than about 

 200 fathoms. Dredging was not the main object of the expedition and 

 no record exists, so far as is known, of the precise localities. 



SOUNDING AND DEEDGING STATIONS OF THE YALOEOUS, 



1875. 



The Valorous was a war-steamer sent as a store-ship with the British 

 North-Polar Expedition of 1875 (the Alert and Discovery). As it was to 

 return directly from Disco, Greenland, the Eoyal Society requested the 

 Government to permit Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys and an assistant, Mr. Her- 

 bert P. Carpenter, to make the voyage, so as to undertake natural his- 

 tory observations both at Disco and on the return voyage. The reports 

 on the dredgings, etc., between Davis's Straits and England by Mr. Jef- 

 freys, Dr. William B. Carpenter, Eev. A. F. Norman, Dr. W. C. Mcin- 

 tosh, Professor AUman, Professor Duncan, Prof. George Dickie, and 

 Mr. E. Etheridge were published in No. 173 of the Proceedings of the 

 Eoyal Society, 1876. The first dredging was made about July 22 and 

 the last on August 23, 1875. In the following table the letter D. indi- 

 cates a dredging, S. T. a serial temperature. At the other stations 

 soundings only were made.
