Stations. 
A number of the labels on flasks had become illegible through 
getting soaked by leakage ; but the flasks were so packed that I could 
pretty well determine the section of the Archipelago whence they 
came. Each flask contained about four pounds of solid matter. 
The material as a whole represented very shallow water gatherings 
from two leading areas : namely, Area 1, from Celebes in the north 
and west, to Java in the south and New Guinea, Aru, and the Islands 
in the east, including such stations as Banda, Amboina, Flores, 
Sumbawa, and Timor ; Area 2, Singapore in the north, Banka in the 
south, Sumatra in the west, and Borneo in the east. 
Stations 1 to 16 are in Area 1. 
Stations 17 to 31 are within Area 2. 
Where name of station is not mentioned, the label has become 
illegible.
