Surface Organisms. — The following species are recorded from the surface at this 
Station : — 
Radiolaria (Haeckel, Zool. pt, 40). 
Sphserozoum armatum, Haeckel. 
Xiphacantha platyptera, Haeckel. 
Orophaspis astrolonche, Haeckel. 
,, tessaraspis, Haeckel. 
Phractopelta dorataspis, Haeckel. 
Dorypelta lithoptera, Haeckel. 
Sethophormis umbrella, Haeckel. 
Sethoconus trochus, Haeckel. 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books: — Diatoms (very few), 
Pyrocystis, Glohigerina, Orhulina, Hastigerina, Pidlenia, and other Foraminifera 
(abundant), Siphonophorse, Sagitta, Saphirina and other Copepods, Phronima, Hyperids, 
Euphausia, Lucifer, Sergestes larvae, Pteropods and other small shells, Appendicularia, 
small fishes. The absence of Noctiluca, Daphnia, brackish-water Diatoms, and the larvae 
of shallow- water organisms, indicated that the ship had again entered truly pelagic waters.
