Analysis of the dredgings brought to the surface during the Voyage of H.M.S. “Challenger,” has shown, that in deeper water as the depth increased, the quantity of carbonate of lime shells decreased,* and as the pressure is in direct proportion to the depth under water, it was surmised that some connection existed between the pressure and the disappearance of lime shells. To ascertain if there was any truth in this surmise, Mr Murray suggested the following experiments. The results are unfortunately incomplete; nevertheless, Mr Murray thinks it advisable to publish them.
