In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books: — Pyrocystis, Peridinium 
in chains, Oscillatoriacese, Foramiuifera ( Globigerina in prodigious numbers, and 
Orbulina), Acanthomctra and other Radiolaria, small Actinian (. Nautactis ), Dipkyes and 
othei Siphunophorae, Sagitta, Annelid larvae (Aphroditacean), Cyllopus , Oxycephalus,

Th‘ ceunybio [ = llalopsyche] gaudichaudi with larvm, small Cephalopod and cuttle- 
fidi eggs in strings, Pyrosoma, young fishes (Pleuronectids, Leptocephalids, and 
•^copelids). The otter trawl was towed for some time from the lower boom ; it was 
never far beneath the surface, and when hauled in was found to contain a mass of jelly- 
like matter with strings of red spots, which turned out to be the eggs of a Cephalopod. 
Sewnil sharks were seen, and one was caught, apparently belonging to the same species 
as thost taken on July 14 and August 3 [Carcharias lamia). 
Willeinoes-Suhm writes : “ On the surface the animals were as plentiful as we found 
them north and south of the equator in the Atlantic. Halobatcs and Phyllirhoe have 
not 1 en observed, whereas the transparent Pleuronectid® have made their appearance, 
of which, besides the common form, there is another distinguished by a long filament on 
the forehead and a more elongated body, the specimens of which were perfectly 
vrnmotric iL In the Pacific we found the Heteropod Calcarella and some Pteropods 
not taken in the Atlantic. Of the latter I may mention the curious form taken between 
Sdnevand Wellington (Pelagia alba' 1 .) [= Taonius suhmi], Theceurybia [ = llalopsyche J 
gaudichaudi , and a small Cymbulid, which has been very common since leaving the 
Kermadcc I lands ; I think we have also got its larvrn. There were also larvaj of a 
Pn> umodennopsis (?) [ - Dcxwbram hxd] with peculiar cutaneous organs, which in some 
m iv correspond with the organs described by Gegenbaur in Pn&modermon [ = Dexio - 
branch ra j eiliatum. Macgillivraya has also made its appearance, and will henceforth
