SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
1009 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books : — Glohigerina, young Station 2G t. 
Ctenophorge, Tomopteris, Evadne, Copilia, Cory casus, Saphirina, Nauplii and Zoese of 
Euphausia, Sergestes and larvae and Elaphocaris, larvae of lanthina (?) with large 
velum, Cephalopod {Cranchia ?). The tow-nets at the trawl and weights brought up 
many Phaeodaria and other Radiolaria and a small Sternoptychid fish, and also specimens 
of Sagitta much larger than those taken at the surface. These deep nets also contained 
many dead Globigerinw, Orhulinae, Pulvinulinas, and other pelagic Foraminifera ; many 
of these had a dull white colour, and had holes which seemed to indicate that the shells 
were being dissolved. The nets also contained many dead specimens of Nassellaria and 
Spumellaria. If the dead shells of the Globigerinidae came from the bottom, then a 
number must reach the bottom before being entirely dissolved, but there is a good deal 
of evidence in the deep hauls to show that they were caught by the nets while falling to 
the bottom.
