surface Mysidse or Euphausidae, which will he difficult. Of Phronima, the vagant male, 
with its clypeiform anterior antennae, was present again, along with another Amphipod, 
which I have not seen before. Except the larvae of Crustacea, one seldom observes a 
larva of any kind, which shows clearly that the larvae of most animals living at the bottom 
do not ascend to the surface, for we are here probably on rich ground, the depth being 
2000 fathoms, and the mud brought up by the sounding apparatus shows plenty of 
organic material."

Density at 60° F. at surface, 1 ‘02626 ; bottom, 1'02587. 
Depth, 1900 fathoms; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 86'04 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chalk Exp.). 
At 6.30 a.m. got up steam. At 7.20 a.m. shortened and furled sails. At 8.20 a.m. 
put trawl over, veering 2500 fathoms, and sounded in 1900 fathoms. At 1.20 p.m. 
commenced heaving in trawl, which came up at 3.20 p.m. with numerous specimens. At 
3.30 p.m. made all plain sail, and shaped course towards Tristan da Cunha. A specimen 
of Procellaria gigantea was caught on the upper deck. 
Distance at noon from Inaccessible Island, 410 miles. Made good 133 miles. 
Amount of current 16 miles, direction N. 64° E.
