The bottom was composed of coarse gravel and sand, and 
the specimens obtained indicate a rich and varied fauna, while 
the presence of a large number of predacious species, with we

They also obtained many very interesting things from vari- 
ous localities on and near St. George’s Bank, and Le Have 
Bank, off Nova Scotia. On St. George’s Bank, in N. lat. 41°
