Abstract
May I call attention to this most interesting subject, upon which so little is known, and with reference to the exploration of the bottom of tropical seas; nothing is known, though there is here a mine of natural history wealth probably of unexampled magnitude. In that interesting work on “The Depths of the Sea,” by Sir Wyville Thomson, published more than twenty years ago, we get a glimpse of a hitherto unworked zoological province, which creates a desire to know more from the richness and beauty revealed, where it would be least expected.
