South latitude 35 degrees 58 minutes; east longitude 17 degrees 54 minutes.
This day the ship went so fast that we could not catch anything.

The acalephae were not so numerous as they had been further to the north, but we saw more and larger medusae than I had ever before remarked.

It indeed appeared as if the acalephae diminished and the medusae increased in number after passing the 36th degree of south latitude.

The vessel went slowly through the water, but although the net was kept towing we could catch nothing, and there was no appearance of anything being in the sea.
