Cavolinia gibbosa (Rang).

Coccospheres, Ehabdospheres, Orbulina, Pulvinulina, Radiolaria, Sagitta, Copepods, 
Cirripeds and Zoese, Eujphausia, larval Gasteropods, Heteropods, and Pteropods. 
Many balls of Cirripeds and large Rhizostomse were in the surface water. On the 
Cirriped balls were Nudibranchs, Aphroditaceans, Cymothoa, and Halobates. The 
stomachs of the Cirriped Zoese were filled with Coccospheres, Coccoliths, Ehabdospheres, 
and Rhabdoliths, and the dung of the Zoese was abundant in the water, about 1 mm. in 
length, tapering towards both ends, of a yellow colour, and composed of a mass of these 
small Algae, Diatoms, &c. The stomachs of the Eu'phausias contained chiefly the remains 
of Acanthometrae and Diatoms. A whale and porpoises were seen about the ship.
