15 more abundant at greater depths, and it follows from this that four times more, at least, must die and shed their tests in 4,000 fathoms than in 1,000 fathoms. The most marked temperature phenomenon observed in these two sections was the presence of a surface layer of water of an average depth of 80 fathoms, and a temperature above '77 deg. Fahr., extending northwards from the coast of New Guinea about 20 deg., and westward as far as the meridian of the Pellew Islands.

The greater part of this huge mass of warm water is moving with more or less rapidity to the westward.

The trawl was used seven times between New Guinea and Japan, but, owing to the great depth and the nature of the sea-bottom, the results were not large.

Nearly every haul brought up, besides a few of the characteristic deep-sea creatures, lumps of water-logged pumice, many of them with small shells attached .--English Mechanics World of Science.
