Density at 60° F. at surface, 1 '02635. 
Depth, 2500 fathoms ; deposit, Blue Mud, containing 6 '22 per cent, of carbonate 
of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 6.30 a.m. shortened and furled sails, and got up steam to trawl. At 7 a.m. 
put trawd over. At 9 a.m. sounded in 2500 fathoms. At 1.30 p.m. lowered cutter to 
ascertain surface current. Obtained serial temperatures down to 800 fathoms. The 
carbonic acid was determined in the surface water, and amounted, to 4 5 '5 milligrammes 
per litre. At 3.30 p.m. cutter returned. At 4 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, w T hich 
came up at 5 p.m. with a number of specimens. At 5.10 p.m. proceeded as requisite, 
obtaining error of Fox dipping-needle. At 7 p.m. proceeded under steam. 
St. Paul’s Rocks distant at noon, 952 miles. Made good 99 miles. Amount of 
current 33 miles, direction N. 44 E.

Stations 106 and 333, 1850 and 2025 fathoms. Only species
