By means of it he was able to collect in a little drop below the microscope all the most minute organ- isms, and in spite of the movements of the little ship and the vibration from the propeller, he was able with his micro- scope to study the many hitherto unknown forms in their living state, to draw them, and to count the number of the different species (Fig. 92).
