Ihliolnm. A net sent down to 200 fathoms brought up a few Challengeridse and many 
other Radiolaria, along with some very large living Foraminifera, while the tow-net at 
the weights contained a few Challengeridae and other deep-water things, a small Scopelid, 
and a young Sternoptyx. Several sharks and many flying fishes were seen. 
In one of the Phmodaria {Conchopsis) the pseudopodia were seen to ramify through 
the brownish matter of the phmodium. Some of the Foraminifera shells {Glohigerina) 
were filled with zoospores. I\Iost of the Pidleniae were surrounded by a great mass of 
yellow sarcode, completely obscuring the shells.
