part contained the beginning of the ovary. Balanoglossus is likely to turn up often in Station 101 . 
deep-sea dredgings ; the shallow-water species always appear to inhabit the deepest 
places in the locality and are true mud-animals. Annelids in tubes were abundant, and 
there was a very fine and soft animal [ = Buskiella abyssorum ] with tentacles on the head, 
and long white bristles which are very clearly jointed,, a condition unknown, as far as I 
am aware, among other animals.” 
Surface Organisms. — The following are recorded in the note-books : — During the Organisms from 
day: a few Pyrocystis, Foraminifera, Kadiolaria, Sagitta, Planarians, Saphirina, RIA ' t: - 
Cory casus, Lucifer. From net sent down to 100 fathoms : Cory casus and the Distomum 
which lives on the Copepods. At night : Pyrocystis present but not in great quantities ; 
many Globigerinas ; Corycaeus , Squilla larvae, and Phylliroe very common. 
Moseley writes : “ At noon a shoal of dolphins (apparently Delphinus delphis ) 
accompanied the ship. The tip of the snout was white, and pig-like in shape ; the dorsal 
fin was somewhat behind the centre of the back. The body was dark brownish, except on 
the ventral surface, wdiich was white ; some specimens were somewhat mottled on the 
belly. I saw several turn right over, so as to fall tail first. They were to be seen 
constantly swimming four or five, or sometimes as many as ten, close side by side, their 
bodies touching and snouts in line, their motions being performed together, heads coming 
out and tails disappearing all together. Some parties remained thus jammed together 
for an hour at least.”
