SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
969 
ship to wind, and sounded in 2900 fathoms. At 8 a.m. veered trawl-rope to Station 248. 
3700 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms. At 2 p.m. 
commenced heaving in trawl, which came up at 5 p.m. much torn, but containing 
many manganese nodules, pumice-stones coated with manganese, sharks’ teeth, and 
a few specimens. At 5.30 p.m. made all plain sail. The carbonic acid was determined 
in water from 400 and 2475 fathoms, and amounted respectively to 39 '2 and 
35*3 milligrammes per litre. Black albatrosses were numerous about the ship, and 
were easily taken with the hook ; boatswain birds and prion-like birds were also seen. 
Honolulu distant at noon, 1405 miles. Made good 98 miles. Amount of current 
for the last two days 35 miles, direction N. 75° E. 
The following species are recorded in the Zoological Eeports from the trawl at this 
Station : — 
Animals from 
Trawl. 
Monaxonida (Ridley and Dendy, Zool. pt. 59). 
Chondrocladia concrescens (Schmidt) (?). Five fragmentary specimens ; obtained 
at no other locality by the Challenger. 
Hexactinellida (Schulze, Zool. pt. 53). 
Bathydorus fimhriatus, n.g., n.sp. One specimen; obtained also at Station 241. 
Hydroida (Allman, Zool. pt. 70). 
Monocaulus im'perator, n.sp. One specimen ; obtained also at Station 237. 
Tunicata (Herdman, Zool. pt. 17). 
Hypohythius calycodes, Moseley, n.g., n.sp. One specimen ; obtained at no 
other locality. The only other species of the genus 
{Hypohythius moseleyi) was taken at Station 320. 
In addition to the foregoing, the Station-book records : — Hyalonema spicules, skeleton 
of Farrea in the interior of a manganese nodule, Holothurian, two fragments of 
Diadema ("?), and Aphrodita. 
Excluding Protozoa, about a dozen specimens of invertebrates were obtained at 
this Station, belonging to 7 species, of which 3 are new to science, including 
representatives of 2 new genera ; 1 of the new species was not obtained elsewhere.
