SUMMARY OF RESULTS.

tube, and certain larvse which were perhaps to be referred to Aphroditaceans. Moseley 
found a larva which he considered to be Tornaria, the larva of Balanoglossus. Crustacea 
have been very abundant, especially Stomatopod and Decapod larvse, as well as Lucifer , 
Sergestes, nearly all the Hyperidae, Saphirina, Cory cams, and Copilia. The Euphausidae 
tended to disappear as we advanced into warmer water ; they were still common , off 
Kandavu, but are now very scarce.”

Depth, 2275 fathoms; deposit, Globigerina Ooze, containing 49 ‘90 per cent, of 
carbonate of lime (see Murray and Renard, Deep-Sea Deposits Chain Exp.). 
At 2 p.m. got up steam. At 3.50 p.m. shortened and furled sails, and proceeded under 
steam to sound. At 4.30 p.m. sounded in 2275 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures 
down to 1500 fathoms. At 6.40 p.m. made sail. 
Raine Island distant at noon, 309 miles. Made good 111 miles. Amount of current 
4 miles, direction N. 45' W. 
Surface Organisms. — The tow-nets put out while sounding yielded the same results 
as during the past two days, Globigerina , Orbulina, and Pyrocystis being specially 
abundant.
