boat, the "Albacore", and contained narQr phyllosomes of large size ns well

the depth at which sone o" them were obtained— ns much ns 150 miles off shore

some 16 miles off Los Coronados Islands, is shown in the ao company ing figure. 
Certain incidental shore and tidepool collections were made while at 
La Jolla,
