SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
1215 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books : — Challengeridse and other 
Radiolaria, Ctenophorae, Distomum (probably from the Eu]^hauside) , Cy'pridina, 
Copepods, Hyperids and other Amphipods, Euphausia, and Pteropods. The stomachs 
of the Salpse were filled with Coccospheres, Rhabdospheres, small specimens of Peridinium, 
many small yellow cells, &c. In the tow-net attached to the trawl, in addition to deep- 
sea Radiolaria, red Copepods, and Cypridinas, there were large numbers of the dead 
shells of pelagic Foraminifera, evidently from the bottom.

Depth, 2200 fathoms ; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 65‘67 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 8.45 A.M. shortened and furled sails. At 9 a.m. proceeded under steam to sound 
and trawl. At 10 a.m. sounded in 2200 fathoms. Put trawl over and veered 
2700 fathoms. This Station is about 220 miles distant from Station 132 on the track of 
1873. Obtained serial temperatures down to 1000 fathoms. The carbonic acid was 
determined in water from 800 fathoms and the bottom, and amounted respectively to 43 ’6 
and 46 ‘6 milligrammes per litre. At 3.30 p.m. commenced heaving in trawl, which came 
up at 4.55 P.M. with only a few specimens, having evidently been wrong side up ; one of
