-The following species are recorded from the surface in the 
Station 150. 
Organisms from 
Surface-Nets. 
Annelida (MTntosh, Zool. pt. 34). 
Tomopteris carpenteri, Quatrefages (?). 
Amphipoda (Stebbing, Zool. pt. 67). 
Vibilia antarctica, n.sp. 
JEuthemisto thomsonii, Stebbing. 
Pteropoda (Pelseneer, Zool. pt. 65). 
Limcicina australis (Eydoux and 
Souleyet). 
Clio sulcata (Pfeifer). 
Tunicata (Herclman, Zool. pt. 76). 
Salpa cylindrica , Cuvier. 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books : — Ctenophorge, Sagitta 
young Aphroditaceans, Copepods, Hyperia, and Euphausia. At times the surface-net 
was full of living Diatoms, in masses forming a yellowish slime, among which could 
be distinguished small Globigcrinse and Radiolarians. When dragged at a depth of 
100 fathoms, the tow-nets produced similar results. 
The ship anchored in Corinthian Bay, Heard Island, at 3.40 p.m. on February 6, and Ax Heard Island. 
one boat’s party landed, but the weather became unfavourable, and anchor was weighed 
at 4.30 a.m. on February 7, as it was considered unaclvisable to remain longer at anchor 
in such. an exposed position (for description of Heard Island, see Narr. Chall. Exp., 
vol. i. pp. 369-378). 
Station 151 (Sounding 255), off Heard Island (see Chart 22). Station 151. 
February 7, 1874 ; lat. 52° 59' 30" S., long. 73° 33' 30" E. 
Temperature. of air at noon, 37°'8 ; mean for the day, 36 &, 6. 
Temperature of water at surface, 36° “2. 
Density at 60° F. at surface 1 ‘0251 5. 
Depth, 75 fathoms ; deposit, Volcanic Sand, containing 2’58 per cent, of carbonate 
of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 4 a.m. got up steam, and at 4.30 a.m. -weighed anchor and proceeded out of 
Corinthian Bay, Heard Island. Shaped course E. by N. for Shag Rock. At 7 a.m. stopped 
and sounded in 75 fathoms near Shag Rock. At 7.30 a.m. put over dredge, which came 
up at 8.45 a.m. containing many specimens. In these cold regions the bottom of the sea 
seemed to be teeming with animal life. Proceeded N. W. by W., and at 9.50 a.m. sounded 
in 60 fathoms. At 10.30 a.m. sounded in 75 fathoms. At 11.45 a.m. stopped engines, 
made all plain sail, and proceeded, shaping course towards the South Pole in the track
