The iraok thns .entjected to repeated and critical survey, extends from St John's, Newfoundland, to Yalentla Bay, at the soath< western extremity of Ireland, a distance 0116M naatlcal, or 1900 statnte miles. Within these limits, on a course oorrespondlng to the line of the grest-clrole sailing, soundings bave been taken at intervals of abont thirty miles, and in- each instanoe (by means of quills affixed to the bottom of the sonnding apparatus) a sample or speolmen of the ooean bed has been obtained. .
