Salpa democratica - mucronata,

In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books from the tow-nets at the 
surface and down to 200 fathoms : — Peridinium [tripos and other species), Globigerinu 
and other small Foraminifera, Acanthometrse and Challengeridse, Infusoria, Medusae, 
Agalmopsis and other Siphonophorae, Ctenophorae, Sagitta, Alciopa, Tomopteris, 
Aphroditacean and other Annelid larvae, Cypridina, Copepods, Mysis, Crustacean larvae, 
Fteropods and larvae, larval Polyzoa [Membranipora) , Appendicularia, small fishes and 
fish eggs. The tow-net at the weights contained Foraminifera, Challengeridae and other 
Eadiolaria, &c. The surface water was full of small Infusorial organisms (Tintinnidae), 
and two or three bladder-like organisms were noticed, which were probably collapsed 
Noctilucse. The deep-blue colour of the water observed for a long time past gave place 
to a green colour, and on the whole there was a great change in the general character 
of the surface fauna, pointing to the nearness of a great continent, similar to what 
was observed off Japan and elsewhere. On November 18, the water was very green in 
colour, and the ship occasionally passed through large red or brown patches, which 
the tow-net shower! to be due to immense numbers of red Copepods, Hyperids, and other 
Crustacea.
