## Summary

Among the many revelations of modern science, none have a more absorbing interest than those relating to the illumination of the deep sea. Until within a few years the ocean has been a sealed book. The surface forms only were known; and it was assumed that, owing to the enormous pressure, lack of sunlight, and consequent darkness, Nature, at least in the abyssal depths, was at fault, and this vast region was devoid of life and incapable of supporting it.
