(Station YIIf.). At 9.45 p.m. the trawl was lowered with 2000 fathoms of rope. Next 
morning tin trawl was observed stretching the accumulators to their utmost tension, 
having probably fouled something at the bottom, and in endeavouring to clear it the 
rope was carried away and the trawl was lost. 
Fokaminifeka (Brady, Zool. pt. 22). — The following species of Foraminifera were 
observed during the examination of the deposit from Station Vile., 670 fathoms (see also 
Vlum v and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.) ; the pelagic species, which make up 
i - than 5 per c ut. of the carbonate of lime present in the deposit, are marked thus x : —
