THE STARFISHES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, 
995 
and that the Albatross added nearty 5 times that number of species which are either 
new or constitute new records. 
Although dredging in Hawaiian waters proved to be an undertaking which pre- 
sented unusual difficulties, it is safe to say that no other area of similar extent has 
been so thoroughly developed or has yielded better results. With certain excep- 
tions, the sea bottom, especially in the lesser depths, is very uneven and rough; 
during the progress of the work it frequently happened that when a haul was nearly 
successfully completed the gear would catch on some obstruction on the bottom, 
and a large part or the whole contents of the trawl would be lost. Off the north 
coast of Maui, however, and in certain restricted areas in the Pailolo Channel between 
Maui and Molokai good dredging was afforded, and it was in this general region 
that many of the novelties were taken.
