enumerate them here, with an indication of their geographical range. Of the nineteen 
species obtained at a depth of 345 fathoms, four are identical with Mediterranean 
species, five are representatives of Mediterranean species, eight belong to genera with a 
wide range at great depths, and two only must be regarded as peculiar Japanese forms.

At 6 p.m. the ship proceeded for the passage between Tries Island and Nipon, 
which was passed at midnight. The light at Joka Sima was not seen farther than 
1 0 miles. 
The temperature of the surface water off Ino Sima was 3° higher than in Yedo Bay, 
and it gradually rose to 68° between Tries Island and the mainland. Here a current was 
met with setting northeast at the rate of one mile per hour. 
On the 13th at 5 a.m. Rock Island was passed, and the ship was steered to the
