1 , 2675 fathoms; deposit, Blue Mud, containing only a 
trace of carbonate of 
lime (see Murray and Eenard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chalk Exp.). 
At 5 A.M. stopped and sounded in 2675 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures 
down to 300 fathoms. At 9.10 a.m. completed temperatures and proceeded under sail ; 
Oosima lighthouse about 39 miles N.E. The surface temperatures observed indicated the 
presence of the Japan stream during the whole of the day. Black albatrosses, black 
petrels, and several swallows about the ship. 
The following species are recorded in error from this Station, having evidently come 
from the shallow- water dredgings at the previous Station : —

Echinocardium australe, Gray. . Penseus velutinus, Dana.
