construction. A Palythoa had settled on them. There was a capsule having three 
compartments, in which there had probably been eggs ; it belonged either to a Gasteropod 
or, as is more likely from the large size of the compartments, to a Cephalopod.” 
Moseley writes : “ One of the large Holothurians had a deep purple colouring 
matter, soluble in spirit and giving two absorption bands.” 
Surface Organisms. — The following 
Station : — 
Radiolaria (Haeckel, Zool. pt. 40), 
Aulodendron antarcticum, Haeckel. 
Sagoscena pellorium , Haeckel. 
Aulosphsera bisternaria, Haeckel. 
Auloscena penicillus, Haeckel. 
species are recorded from the surface at this 
Schizopoda (Sars, Zool. pt. 37). 
Euphausia antarcticoc, n.sp. 
Pteropoda (Pelseneer, Zool. pt. 65). 
Clio sulcata (Pfeifer). 
Fishes (Gunther, Zool.. pt. 78). 
.Prymnothonus sp. (?), young. 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books : — A few larvae of 
Chirodota (?), small specimens of Alciopa and Tomo'pteris, a very large specimen of 
Sagitta from the trawl, a few Cypridinidse, Calanids abundant, Hyperia , Primno. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ The Euphausise, very common on the surface near the ices 
were scarcer in clear water, where the Copepod genera Calanus and Calanella 
[ = Fucalanus j were the most abundant animals.”
