At 6 A.M. stopped and put trawl over, veering 2000 fathoms. At 7.40 a.m. sounded Station 223. 
in 2325 fathoms ; veered trawl rope. At 10.30 a.m. obtained serial temperatures down 
to 1500 fathoms. The carbonic acid was determined in bottom water, and amounted to 
61'9 milligrammes per litre. At 12.30 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, which came up 
foul at 4 P.M., containing only a few specimens and pumice-stones. Made sail and 
proceeded towards the Mariana or Ladrone Islands. A boatswain bird feU on the deck 
from the rigging, having probably been injured through the manipulation of the ropes, 
and a noddy tern came on board ; a large flock of petrels or shearwaters seen at the 
Admiralty Islands was observed near the ship. 
Distance at noon from Guam Island, 464 miles ; from Elato Island, Caroline Islands, 
90 miles ; from Nile Shoal, about 30 miles. Made good 70 miles. Amount of current 
8 miles, direction N. 21° E.

Surface Organisms. — During the forenoon two tow-nets were carried away by

and other minute organisms. A young male shark {Carcharias lamia) was caught ; it
