rt<" Asconema . several new Sponges, Hymenaster sp., six specimens of Gphiomusium

Willemoes-Suhm writes: “The worms brought up by the trawl include Nereis, 
Aoh, Hides, an Iphroditid, Clymene, and some fragments. They present nothing extra- 
ordinary in their structure or morphology.” 
Surface Organisms. — Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ The little Phronima sedenlaria was 
got in the m< rniug from the surface, and in its transparent house by the trawl. Only 
tilt females have, according to Claus, a house; they are smaller than the males, have 
mor< hairs on the antennae, kc. A large specimen of Tomopteris was captured, but being 
only slightly transparent was not kept.” Physalia is also recorded in the note-books.
