III. " Preliminary Report to Professor Wyville Thomson, F.R.S., 

 Director of the Civilian Scientific Staff, on the true Corals 

 dredged by H.M.S. ( Challenger ' in deep water between the 

 dates Dec. 30th, 1870, and August 31st, 1875." By H. N. 

 Moseley, Naturalist to the Expedition. (Published by per- 

 mission of the Lords of the Admiralty.) Received February 14, 

 1876. Read March 16. 



The following Report is to be regarded as merely preliminary, and will 

 be followed by a full account of the corals dredged by the ' Challenger/ 

 which can be prepared only after the termination of the present voyage. 



Many specimens have been sent home for greater security, and are 

 thus not available for comparison. Moreover, in the case of corals, it is 

 impossible to determine, with any accuracy, specific relations without 

 making comparisons with museum collections, which, of course, bas been 

 impossible in the present instance. 



The list of corals obtained here given has been made as accurate as 

 circumstances would permit. The amount of corals obtained by the 

 ' Challenger ' in deep water has been small, considering the very large 

 number of dredgings which have been made. Corals have been yielded 

 by only about forty-eight of the numerous dredgings and trawlings. Of
