some of them being quite as large as any found in the deposits at the bottom. In a great 
many instances they were surrounded with yellow-coloured sarcode ; apparently this 
expands in the form of a large float, but we have never been able to get a specimen fully 
expanded as in the case of Hastigerina.

Depth, 1500 fathoms; deposit, Griobigerina Ooze. 
At 10 A.M. stopped. Put trawl over and veered 2500 fathoms. Sounded in 
1500 fathoms. The sounding-tube contained some water, which on being allowed to settle 
gave indications of a red-coloured Globigerina Ooze, but the tow-nets at the trawl 
contained many fragments of augite-andesite, which may possibly have been derived from 
a comparatively recent volcanic outflow at the bottom. Took serial temperatures from 
surface to bottom. The carbonic acid was determined in bottom water, and amounted to 
47*5 milligrammes per litre. At 3 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, having previously 
shortened the line to 1900 fathoms. It came up at 4.30 p.m. containing only a flsh, which 
was still alive when taken out of the trawl. Made sail. Two specimens of Diomedea 
exulans w*ere caught from the ship, and two mutton birds were shot from a boat ; there 
were seen besides Procellaria maxima or Procellarm gigantea, Procellaria cajpensis, 
Prion turtur. Mother Carey’s chickens, along with a molly Diomedea fuliginosa (?), 
and a small black petrel with white belly.
