SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
370 
Leptoclinum speciosum, var. asperum, nov. Several specimens (7 to 20 fathoms) ; Bahia. 
obtained also at Station 142, 150 fathoms. 
,, annectens, n.sp. One specimen (shallow water) ; obtained at no other 
locality. 
Diplosoma macdonaldi, n.sp. One specimen (shallow water) ; obtained at no other 
locality. 
Fishes (Giinther, Zool. pt. 6). 
Rhypticiis arenatus, C.Y. Obtained at no other locality b}r the Challenger. 
Hippocampus villosus, n.sp, (7 to 20 fathoms) ; obtained at no other locality. 
In the foregoing list 127 species are enumerated, of which 57 are new to science, 
including representatives of 4 new genera ; 50 of the new species and 1 new genus were 
not obtained elsewhere, 
Willemoes-Suhm writes, with regard to these dredgings by Thomson and Murray in 
shallow water off Bahia : “ No forms of extraordinary size or development have been 
found in the bay, but simply those representatives of the marine classes as might be 
found anywhere in the Atlantic, while it seemed to me that there was not, such a great 
variety as in the West Indies, where the large S trombus, Corals, and CoJappa arc so 
conspicuous. Several species of Comcitula and Ophiurids seemed to be the commonest 
Eehinoderms, and Astrophyton and Mellita were associated with them in sandy places. 
Small cherry -like siliceous Sponges, and other Sponges, were found covered by Alcyonium 
and Polyzoa. One Sipunculid and some large specimens of Sabella in soft tubes were 
taken, and among the Crustacea were several genera of Maiids and Cancerids, an animal 
allied to Ranina, the frog-crab, large Pagurids, Porcellana, Alpkeus, &c. No Brachiopods 
were found, but many small Gasteropods, as Turritella, Conus, Bulla , and a large dead 
Fusus-like shell. Very fine specimens of a Plumularian, with Cciprella on the branches, 
were taken.” 
The departure from Bahia was somewhat hastened owing to one of the crew, who had Yello w Fevei 
been sleeping on shore, having caught yellow fever, from which he afterwards died. 
After leaving Bahia the Challenger proceeded to the southward until September 30, 
without sounding or dredging, as it was desirable to get into cool weather at once to 
avoid any risk of yellow fever spreading amongst the ship’s company.
