After this first attempt we tried the trawl several times at

success. 
Several fishes, most of them allied to Macrourus, were added 
to the list. Several decapod crustaceans, and among the lower

Nucula, Leda, Verticordia, &c., familiar through the deep dredg- 
ings of the Poreupine. Among the molluscoids a haul in 1,525 
fathoms gave us a lovely thing, a bryozoan forming, out of branches

the bases of the branches united by a transparent stem between 
two and three inches high, like the barrel of a quill, or the stem
