the surface. There were also several forms of Radiolaria on the surface, and Mr. Murray 
with a hand-glass picked up a specimen of Globigerina, with several of the Oscillatoriacese 
and one of the jelly-masses attached ; this specimen of Globigerina had most delicate 
spines, the length of the longest ones being fully eleven times the diameter of the shell 
The tow-net sent down to 60 or 80 fathoms brought up the following : — Pyrocystis, 
Peridinium (sometimes as many as twenty in a chain), Globigerina, Orbulina, 
Pulvinulina, Acanthometrse, Polycystinse, and other Radiolaria, many Acraspedote 
Medusae, Diphyes, two species of Ctenophorae, larvae of Echinoderms (Holothurid and 
Asterid), Sagitta, Sabellid larva in tube, larvae of Balanoglossus ( Tornaria ), Saphirina 
and other Copepods, small Mysid and other Crustacea and larvae, Atlanta, Macgillivraya 
spinigera, Styliola, and other small shells, Appendicularia, many Fritillarise. 
Some organisms frequently observed in the Atlantic and Southern Indian Ocean, such 
as : large Salpse, Velella, Physalia, Ianthina, Carinaria, another large Heteropod, 
■S cyllsea, Sternoptychidae, and small Scopelidae, have not been noticed on the surface 
while cruising among the East Indian islands, since leaving Raine Island on August 31. 
In the afternoon a shark, belonging to the same species as that taken on July 14 
( Carcharias lamia), was caught ; it had a small Echeneis attached to it. 
Moseley writes : “ The sea was full of minute Algse, among which there appeared to 
be a Lyngbya, Spirillum, Agonium, and Trichodesmium

At daybreak entered Basilan Strait. At 5.20 a.m. stopped near Sibago Island. Swung 
ship to ascertain errors of compasses and of dipping-needle. Sounded in 100 fathoms, 
no bottom. Position of ship at noon in Basilan Strait between Sibago and Malanipa 
Islands. At 2.25 p.m. completed swinging ship. Sounded in 250 fathoms, and obtained 
two hauls with the trawl, many specimens being procured. At 5 p.m. proceeded for 
Samboangan, anchoring there at 8.50 p.m. 
The following species are recorded in the Zoological Reports from the trawl at this 
Station : — 
Station 199 . 
Station 200 .
