But between Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, and consequently between the Abrolhos and Rio de Janeiro, there exists a difference of from four to five miles between us, this being the only point on which I have found any such difference either on this or on the Beagle's former voyage.' Having made both passages, I venture to observe, that going within the Abrolhos certainly shortens that between Rio and Bahia very much

Bahia served entered in a stream through the mouth which was distended and motionless; hence this latter action must have been caused by the dilatation of the animal, producing suction. When the body is thus distended the papileæ, with which it is covered become stiff, the above mentioned tentacula on the head, being excepted. The animal being so much buoyed up, the branchial openings are out of water, but a stream regularly flowed out of them which was as

At Bahia Blanca where they are extremely unfrequent within thirty miles of the coast, I saw one day the tracks of thirty or forty which had come in a direct line to a muddy salt water creek. They then must have perceived that they were proceeding directly towards the sea, for they had wheeled with the regularity of cavalry had returned back in as straight a
