shells, Glaucus, Doliolum, Salpa, Appendicularia. The ship passed through red and Station 240. 
white-coloured patches of water, and about the same time a great change was noticed 
in the temperature of the surface water, which fell from 22° to 18° C. ; the patches 
were so noticeable that the hand lead was cast to see if there were not a shoal. The 
discoloration seemed to be due to Copepods, some of which were of a bright red colour, 
similar to what was observed in the Southern Indian Ocean, while others belonging to 
a different species were quite pale, and many of them dead. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes ; “ The surface abounded with Hy'peria, as on the passage 
from Bermuda to Halifax. I found a minute Zoea, notable for the insertion of the eyes 
deeply into the carapace, which has been figured by Dohrn from the Indian Ocean ; after 
a careful search I failed to find any further specimens.”

Strong southerly breeze during the night and early morning. At 3 a.m. shortened 
sail, and at 4 a.m. put over trawl with two tow-nets attached. When about 1900 fathoms 
had been veered, the trawl-rope fouled the screw and parted, the trawl and line 
being lost. In the evening it became calm and many Copepods and specimens of 
Doliolum were obtained in the surface-nets.
