Density at 60° F. at surface, 1*02556 ; bottom, 1*02553, 
Depth, 2775 fathoms ; deposit, Eed Clay, containing only a trace of carbonate of 
lime (see Murray and Eenard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp,). 
At 1 p.M. got up steam. At 1,30 p.m. shortened and furled sails, and at 2 p.m. 
sounded in 2775 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. The 
carbonic acid was determined in bottom water, and amounted to 35*3 milligrammes per 
litre. At 4.30 p.m. lowered a line with half a dozen tow-nets attached : two at the 
bottom, two at 500 fathoms from the bottom, and two at 1000 fathoms from the bottom, 
the lead being sent down to 2700 fathoms. At 7.40 p.m, hove up tow-nets, the two 
nets at the end of the rope coming up fouled. At 7.45 p.m, proceeded under steam. 
Albatrosses, boatswain birds, and Mother Carey’s chickens were seen about the ship.
