The Challenger remained at Port Jackson, Sydney, from 3 p.m. on April 6 till 
7.30 a.m. on June 12, 1874 (for description of Sydney see Narr. Chall. Exp., vol. i. 
pp. 454-463). While at Sydney the specimens collected during the southern cruise were 
catalogued and carefully packed by Mr. Murray, and despatched to England in 65 boxes 
and 10 casks. 
On the morning of June 3 the ship proceeded out of the harbour with a party 
of visitors on board, including the principal scientific and naval men of Sydney, and 
when 6 or 7 miles from the entrance to Port Jackson a sounding was taken in 
35 fathoms (Station 163 b), and the dredge and trawl were lowered several times in 
from 30 to 40 fathoms, most of the specimens brought up belonging to the Port Jackson 
fauna. In the afternoon the ship returned and anchored at the entrance of Sydney Cove. 
At 3.30 p.m. on June 8, the ship left Port Jackson, but the same night and following 
day such bad weather was experienced that it was found impossible to sound as 
proposed for the telegraph cable, and in consequence the ship returned and anchored 
in Watsons Bay on the evening of June 9. The weather continued unfavourable 
during June 10 and 11, the expedition finally leaving Port Jackson on the morning of 
June 12. 
During the stay Mr. Murray conducted many dredgings from the steam pinnace 
within the Heads of Port Jackson. The following species are recorded in the Zoological 
K* j ■ rt - fr n the shore and from shallow water in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson,

locality by the Challenger. Recorded from Adriatic. 
Pammopemma densnm, Marshall. One specimen (7 fathoms) ; obtained also at 
Station 49.
