2 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



round the Globe in 1772-1774; to facilitate reference, however, to any particular 

 species, I have added a separate systematic list of all the species collected. 



The proportion of new species is larger than could have been anticipated, as most 

 of the localities visited had been previously well searched by naturalists, and is much 

 larger than is found in the majority of similar miscellaneous collections. The localities 

 which yielded the most important results by the discovery not only of undescribed 

 species, but also of those to which particular faunistic interest is attached, are, in the 

 Atlantic, St Paul's Eocks, Ascension, and the mouth of the Plate River ; in the Southern 

 Ocean, Magellan Straits, Juan Fernandez, and Kerguelen Island; in the Pacific, 

 Twofold Bay, the Arafura Sea, the Admiralty, Sandwich Islands, and Japan. 



In accordance with the instructions received, a complete set of the series, including 

 661 specimens, especially the typical examples from which descriptions and figures 

 have been taken, has been deposited in the British Museum.
