CHAPTER 3
17/25

18 tentacula to this, centre ones the largest.

Same colour as first arm.
3rd arm.

12 tentacula, not forming such a regular circle as on the two first arms, and apparently issuing directly from a very short limb attached to the body.
The general appearance of the skin was that of a frog.

It had the power of contracting itself considerably.
Caught a slug-like animal (Holothuria) this evening, or rather more closely resembling a caterpillar.
Length from head to root of tail 0.7 inches.
Length of tail (or rather gelatinous protuberance) 0.25 inches.
Breadth (broadest part at root of tail) 0.22 inches.
Narrowest part (near head) 0.15 inches.
Length of head 0.12 inches.
Head of light red colour, mouth apparent, motion of head like a caterpillar's when touched, shape cylindrical, body gelatinous, intestines apparent and full.
November 16.

Longitude 102 degrees 40 minutes east; latitude 28 degrees 5 to 6 minutes south.
Since we have passed the 95th parallel of longitude, and 32nd of latitude up to the present moment we have been out of the region of birds, for during the whole of this period I have seen but two, one of which, a Petrel, has this moment visited us.
