Moseley remarks : “ We have found nearly all the forms also in the North Atlantic ; 
tin un eersal distribution of deep-sea forms becomes more and more apparent.” 
Surface Organisms. -The tow-net sent down to a depth of about 100 fathoms brought 
up: - l-'oraminifcrn, Radiolaria. Sagitta, Tomopteris, a great many Copepods, Hyperia, 
O.n/C'phahu'f, } r ibi!ia, Clcodora [ = Clio], developmental stages of Pyrosoma, and 
\ r y ndicularia, while the tow-net attached to the dredge-line brought up many surface 
■: duals, including Medusre, some Amphipods, and a naked Pteropod, the Amphipods 
ing more abundant than at the surface. Many of the Globigerinse and Pulvinulinse 
were surrounded with a mass of . yellow sarcode in which were entangled many 
C . eospheres, Khabdospheres, Infusoria ( Tintihnus ), and Diatoms. These minute 
organisms wen also observed in the stomachs of the Tunicates. The Foraminifera were 
different from those found near the equator on the trip from Cape Verdes to Bahia, the 
shell.' being less massive and Splueroidina and Pullenia did not appear to be present in 
the surface gatherings.
