SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
1245 
Surface Organisms. — The following species are recorded from the surface at this 
Station : — 
CoPEPODA (Brady, Zool. pt. 23). Pteropoda (Pelseneer, Zool. pt. 65). 
Saphirina metallina, Dana. Cavolinia longirostris (Lesueur). 
The tow-nets yielded abundance of Foraminifera {Globigerina, Orbulina, PuUenia, 
Sphseroidina, and Pulvinulina menardii), including some very large specimens ; 
many were surrounded by sarcode in which were entangled small Acanthometrae, 
Diatoms, and Peridinium. There were besides one or two Rhabdospheres, very many 
Oscillatoriacese, Pyrocystis, Ethmodiscus and other Diatoms, a few Radiolaria, Medusae, 
small Planarians, Copepods, Hyperids, Euphausia, many small Decapod larvae, and
