Surface Organisms. — On these dates the tow-net was used several times, but never 
far below the surface, the following being procured : — Spherical Algae (Halosphsera), 
Ethmod'scus and other Diatoms, Pyrocystis, Globigerina, Orbulina, Radiolaria, 
E< hinoderm larvae, Sagitta, many Copepods (especially Saphinna), Phronima, 
1 1 yp<- ria , Lucifer, Zoeae and many larval Crustacea, larval Lamellibranchs, Atlanta , 
Styliola . Heterofusus [ = Limacina], and many other pelagic shells, small Cephalopods 
( Cranchia , Ac.), Salpa, and small fish. From the stomach of a Salpa were obtained 
many Rhabdospheres and Coccospheres of various forms, a number of small Radiolaria 
and other siliceous organisms, and a single Diatom. 
It may be remarked that in examining the deposit from 1350 fathoms (Station 175) 
not single shell of Pteropods, Atlanta, or other pelagic Molluscs, was observed, although 
theyoceurrcd in the tow-netsatthe surface in much greater abundance than the Foraminifera, 
which latter made up about 80 per cent, of the carbonate of lime present in the ooze. 
Station 170 (Sounding 306), Fiji to Raine Island (see Chart 27 and 
Diagram 13).
