Very few localities of “hard” bottom were met with in 
more than 25 fathoms of water; and consequently we could 
not obtain so complete a knowledge of the fauna occupying 
such bottoms, at greater depths off that coast, as of that in- 
habiting the ‘soft muddy bottoms. This has, "however, been 
remedied to a considerable extent by some of the subsequent 
dredgings made by Dr. Packard, when on the a More- 
over, a considerable number of species belonging properly on 
rocky bottoms came up attached to the Snider: already re- 
— to, which we frequently brought up even from the softest 
mud. 
Other inhabitants of such bottoms were obtained from the 
stomachs of fishes, freshly caught. From these and other 
sources we could now compile a pretty full list of species 
fr between 50 and 125 
fathoms, off the coast between Bene Cod and Mount Desert. 
~The first named oie was eink rich in —— and 
I therefore give the entire list obtained at that place, so 
as they have been identified. The bottom was generally hard, 
and in places rocky, but some ia of mud were evidently 
consequently there is a con- 
siderable number of true mud-dwelling species in the list. 
Only one haul of the dredge was made at this locality, owing 
to unfavorable weather.
