SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
783 
At daylight observed Mindanao Island on starboard bow. At 9.15 a.m. stopped and 
sounded in 2550 fathoms. Obtained serial temperatures down to 600 fathoms. At 
noon completed observations and proceeded under steam. A large flock of white and 
brown birds (boobies and gannets) approached the ship while sounding. 
Distance at noon from Point Binigsian, the west extremity of Negros Island, 
83 miles. Made good 92 miles. Amount of current 6 miles, direction N. 31° E. 
Surface Organisms. — The following species are recorded from the surface at this 
Station : — 
Amphipoda (Stebbing, Zool. pt. 67). 
Phorcorrhctphis zamboangse, n.sp. 
Schizopoda (Sars, Zool. pt. 37). 
Stylocheiron suhmi , n.g., n.sp. 
In addition, the following are recorded in the note-books from the tow-nets at the 
surface and down to a depth of 50 fathoms : — Peridinium, a few Oscillatoriaceae 
[Spirillum), Diatoms, Globigerina, Orbulina , and Pulvinulina — the most abundant 
form being Globigerina sequilateralis, hitherto rare — Radiolaria, Medusae, Echinoderm 
larvae, Pluteus, Sagitta, Planarian, Polynoe, Sabellid larvae, Aphroditacean larvae, larvae 
of Balanoglossus, Cypridina, Pachysoma punctatum, Saphirina, Corycseus, and other 
Copepods , Hyper ia, Lucifer, Zoeae (including the Zoca elaphoceras of Dohrn), Nauplii, 
Pterotrachea (?), Macgillivraya, Pteropods and larvae, small cuttle-fish, Appendicularia , 
and several small fishes. A piece of sea-weed (like Sargassum) was picked up on 
October 28, at some distance from the land. 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ We found at the surface, for the first time, a queer little 
Copepod described by Claus under the name of Pachysoma, which very wmll expresses 
the shape of its body. It is a Corycaeid allied to Copilia, from which it differs by the 
absence of lenses and the presence of only a simple median eye.” 
The Challenger anchored at Ilo-Ilo at 5 p.m. on October 28, remaining there till 
5.40 a.m. on October 31, 1874.
