Hauling in took an hour and fifty minutes. Our catch con- sisted of about fifty deep-sea fishes (see Fig. 57), several baskets of holothurians, and a number of in- teresting invertebrates, including some beautiful, large, red-coloured prawns, no less than 30 centimetres long. This catch was extremely interesting, as it yielded the same species of fish that we got in our hauls to the west of Ireland (Mo7a Trachyrhyncus, Alepoce- phalus, Synaphobranchus). The trade-winds had mean- while freshened considerably, so we steamed under the lee ot Fuerte Ventura, and at Station 42 used our pelagic appliances at „ _. various depths. The captures Eel larv? » Ifc J were particularly interesting, in- «eiS ir eluding as they did nineteen larvae ' p0 of eels (leptocephali). One indi- vidual among these (Fig. 58) be- longed to the ordinary conger-eel iyLeptocepIialus Congi'i viclgaris), but the other eighteen were all of another species closely resembling the conger larva, but G
