List of species or kinds, with tag numbers if drawn or discussed: 
Tried for the first time-a 100 watt light 
in heavy side reflector-decided that it was not 
sufficient light-so will try to obtain higher 
wattage for future work; the shade on the sides 
of the lamp also does not allow the laterl disper¬ 
sion of light as on other types of lights. 
Will attempt to have light run everynight as 
possible-the majority of the work to be accompl¬ 
ished by the seamen assigned to this section- 
supervision remaining with ichthyologist in chg. 
The above collection yielded the following 
specimens, 66 in number-33 of which may be 
Dussumerids-the other 33 including some juvenile 
Synodonts, and others. 
2 man net hours and 66 fish or an average of 33 
fish per net- per hour.
