V- iic r.'-Suhm writes, with reference to these dredgings around Kerguelen: — “The 
I vailing animals in the shallow-water dredging on January 17 were Echinodermata, 
n i : i v : ■ h Sponges and Polyzoa were represented by a considerable number of genera 
•• i j» i ' ■ - There were also a large simple Ascidian and a small composite one ; simple 
\ <■: ii.ii -i were apparently far from numerous here, nor, indeed, were they abundant at any

astonishing. Near Marion Island a caridid shrimp was taken in great numbers, while
