SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
1265 
Depth, 2965 fathoms ; deposit, Red Clay, containing 11’12 per cent, of carbonate 
of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chall. Exp.). 
At 1.15 P.M. shortened and furled sails, and proceeded under steam. At 2 p.m. 
sounded in 2965 fathoms. The sounding-tube had sunk fourteen inches into the bottom 
and brought up over a litre of Red Clay, the deeper portions being darker coloured, and 
containing less carbonate of lime, than the surface layers ; manganese grains and fishes’ 
teeth were more abundant in the lower layer. Took serial temperatures down to 
1500 fathoms. The carbonic acid was determined in water from 200 fathoms and 
bottom (?), and amounted respectively to 38 '7 and 36 ‘8 milligrammes per litre. On the 
evening of May 1 a straggling flock of birds, possibly wide-awakes, were seen at a great 
distance from the ship. 
Fayal Island, Azores, distant at noon, 780 miles. Made good 158 miles. Amount 
of current 25 miles, direction S. 67° W.
