Depth, 2700 fathoms; 
deposit, Radiolarian Ooze, containing 
only a 
trace of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Eenard, Deep-Sea Deposits Cliall. Exp.). 
At 5.20 A.M. stopped and sounded in 2700 fathoms ; only a small quantity of deposit 
came up in the sounding-tube. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1500 fathoms, 
and also specimens of water. The carbonic acid was determined in bottom water, and 
amounted to 40‘5 milligrammes per litre. At 1 p.m. lowered four tow-nets attached a 
short distance from each other to the dredging-rope, and veered 2000 fathoms. Sent 
dingey aw^ay for surface collecting and to test the transparency of the water. At 2 p.m. 
commenced heaving in tow-nets which came up all foul at 3.30 p.m. At 4 p.m. 
proceeded under steam and sail. Several boobies and gannets were seen. 
Venus Point, Tahiti, distant at noon, 1620 miles. Made good 97 miles. Amount 
of current 19 miles, direction S. 34° E.
