SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
1025 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books ; — Diatoms, Pyrocystis, 
Peridinium, Glohigerina, Hastigerina, Pullenia, Sphseroidina, Pulvinulina, Diphyes, 
Echinoderm larvae, Sagitta, Annelid larvae, JEvadne, Copilia, Corycaeus, Saphirina, 
Oxycephcdus, Hyperids, Euphausia, Eacifer and larvae, Sergestes, Amphion, Halohates, 
small Lamellibranchs and Gasteropods, Atlanta and other Heteropods, Hyalasa 
[ = Cavolinia\, Spirialis [ = Limacina~\, Styliola, Tiedemannia [ = Gleba\ Pteropod 
larvae, Appendicularia, Salpa. Several sharks were seen. The Pulmnulinse and 
PullenisB were to-day covered with a yellow-coloured sarcode, so as to completely 
cover and obscure the shell ; in this sarcode were entangled small Diatoms, 
Coccospheres, Ehabdospheres, Infusoria, and small Crustacea. Masses of yellow sarcode, 
quite similar to that surrounding these Eoraminifera, were frequently observed in the 
tow-net gatherings, and had most probably been separated from the Pulvinulina and 
PullenisB by the dragging of the net and washing of its contents into collecting bottles. 
On August 31 and September 1 the fauna was found to be similar, the ship being 
on these two days in the counter equatorial current, which carried her 120 miles to the 
east.
