A CORRECTION OF DATES.

In Report of Professor Verrill's Lecture
yesterday-Additional Facts Con-
corning Deep Sea Explorations.
10 the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In the report of Professor Verrill's
lecture at Boardman school yesterday
it should have been stated that the first
systematic explorations of depths below
5OOfathoms were made by Mr.. Pourtales
in a vesesl of the United States coast
survey, in 1867, not in 1877, as printed.
In this connection Professor Verrill
says that this expedition was preceded
by a less important exploration by Mr..
Pourtales in 1856, between Florida and
Cuba, where the depth did not reach
quite 500 fathoms
Additional explorations were made by
Mr.. Pourtales in 1868, while the extern
sive explorations by Mr.. A. Agassiz
on the "Blal1e' in the Gulf of Mexico
and caribbean Sea were made in 1877
to 1885, The first two explorations-186
and 1S67-were of so great interest
and revealed so great an album
dance of new and strange forms of ami
NAL life at great depths, and under
such peculiar conditions that they at
tracted universal attention among ZOO
7ogists and biologists. They undoubt-
edly led directly to the organization of
the English expeditions, for these dis
coveries were specially referred to in
the printed petitions made soon after
wards by scientific men to the English
government for the detail of a naval
vessel, equipped with appliances for
similar work on the European coast,
and which led to the sending out of
the Lightning" expedition off Scot
land under the charge of Sir Wyville
Thompson in 1868, which reached only
$50 fathoms, and the "Porcupine" ex-
petitions, in 1869 and 1870, off ireland,
Spain. and into the Mediterranean, and
finally to the equipment of the great
'sChallenger'' expedition around the
world, in 1873 to 1876. The Challenger"
steamed and sailed, during her voyage
of three and one-half years, over $1,000
miles, and dredged in about 800 locali-
ties-a number much less than those
explored by the United States coast
survey and the United States fish COM
mission.
Therefore the honor of being the
first 20 undertake such explorations
does not belong to England, as has been
repeatedly claimed in English works
on the subject. for the United States
was two years in advance of England
in this work.
Another error of Importance occurs in
the report of my lecture where the
depth of the deepest dredgings of the
"Albatross'' is stated at $4,000 fathoms
instead of 1900 fathoms.
