latnia). There were several about, and they were attended by “suckers” ( Echeneis 
rcm&rct), which were sometimes attached to the sharks, sometimes followed them, and

1875 ; the deposit in the harbour at a depth of 7 fathoms was composed of Mud and 
Shells, containing 53 ‘52 per ceDt. of carbonate of lime. All the zoological and other

catalogued and packed by Mr. Murray, one hundred and twenty-nine cases and several 
casks being placed on board H.M.S. “Adventure” on January 1, 1875, for transmission 
to England (for description of Hong Kong see Narr. Chall. Exp., vol. i. pp. 635-639).
