SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
119 
Surface Organisms. — Willemoes-Suhm mentions: \ r elelliclae ; Sagitta ; Copepods ; 
a small oceanic crab, the legs of which are big, with long and light hairs, especially 
adapted for swimming ; Ianthina, with air-bladder ; Firoloida ; Salpa and Appendicu- 
Ictria. Among the large quantity of animals examined, no larvae of worms nor of 
Echinoderms, nor Cyphonautes were found. 
The Challenger remained at anchor at Gibraltar from 8 a.m. on January 18 till 
6 p.m, on January 26. 
January 26 and 27, 1873. 
Surface Organisms. — Willemoes-Suhm writes: “Near Gibraltar, on January 26, a 
specimen of Orthagoriscus mola was seen at the surface. Among the surface things taken 
on January 27, I find the first swimming worm, a Syllis, remarkable for long prolonga- 
tions of the feet ; the animal examined is not, however, full-grown. Among the Cope- 
pods I find Copilia denticulata, Claus [ = Copilia mirabilis, Dana], a remarkable 
Saphirinoid, in which the red-coloured eyes are at a great distance from the cornea in 
the front ; the anterior part of the body shows exceedingly well the nervous system, the 
otolith, and the innervation of the glands described by Haeckel in Saphirinci edivardsii. 
There were also many specimens of Beroe, Cydippe, Sagitta , megalopa stage of crab, 
Carinaria, Pteropods, Appendicularia, Salpa, and Doliolum. Worm larvae, Echino- 
derm larvae, and Cyphonautes observed for the first time abundantly to-day.”
