Depth, 2050 fathoms; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 56 '07 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Eenard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chalk Exp.). 
At 5 A.M. put trawl over. At 6 a.m. brought ship to wind and sounded in 
2050 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. The carbonic acid 
was determined in water from 1000 fathoms and from the bottom, and amounted 
respectively to 50‘7 and 47‘5 milligrammes per litre. At 1.30 p.m. commenced 
heaving in trawl, which came up at 3.45 p.m. with numerous specimens and many 
pumice-stones. At 4 p.m. proceeded under steam. 
Honolulu distant at noon, 1554 miles. Made good 88 miles. Amount of current 
28 miles, direction N. 14° E.
