In deep water, far from the land, the number of living creatures is extremely small: south of the latitude 35 degrees, I never succeeded in catching anything besides some beroe, and a few species of minute entomostracous crustacea. In shoaler water, at the distance of a few miles from the coast, very many kinds of crustacea and some other animals are numerous, but only during the night.

The ocean swarmed with Mollusca, and particularly entomostracous Crustacea, small whales, and porpoises; the sea abounded with penguins and seals, and the air with birds; the animal kingdom was ever present, the larger creatures preying on the smaller, and these again on smaller still; all seemed carnivorous.
Here and there, also, deposits bearing testimony to the existence of fresh or brackish- water lagoons, filled with calcareo-bituminous mud, were formed. They are associated with small entomostracous crustaceans of the genus Cythere, and scales of small fishes.
