Depth, 2300 fathoms ; deposit, Red Clay, containing 6T1 per cent, of carbonate of 
lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 4 A.M. got up steam. At 5.45 a.m. shortened and furled sails, and proceeded 
under steam to sound. At 6.30 a.m. sounded in 2300 fathoms. At 8 a.m. put trawl over, 
veering 3000 fathoms. At 10.30 a.m. obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. 
The carbonic acid was determined in water from 200 fathoms, and amounted to 33'8 milli- 
grammes per litre. At 1 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, which came up at 3.20 p.m. 
with only a few pumice-stones, fragments of Brisinga, and two small fishes. Made sail 
and proceeded. Boobies, noddies, and boatswain birds were seen from the ship. 
Distance at noon from No Sima lighthouse, 1220 miles. Made good 99 miles. 
Amount of current 13 miles, direction S. 77° W. 
The following species are recorded from the trawl at this Station : — 
Asteroidea (Sladen, Zool. pt. 51). 
Freyella attenuata, n.sp. Fragments ; obtained at no other locality. 
Fishes (Gunther, Zool. pt. 57).
