Hall. Fine cooperation was also received from the officers and crews of the LT's. The departure of the YAG 40 from Long Beach was delayed due to a breakdown in after-steering. The LT's were used for the first third of the Grid survey to prevent disruption of the fall schedule. Seas were small during this first period, providing good observing conditions from the tugs. En route to the Grid the LT made an offshore survey of the south sides of Anacapa, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa islands. During the in-port period in Long Beach a Bathythermograph winch was acquired and installed on the YAG 40. The winch was most generously loaned")to us by Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the duration of the work. Methods Complete diurnal observations were taken while in the Grid area. Nocturnal observations were taken 29 August through 3 September, both while underway and while laying to. During the 2-1/2 hours of laying- to on 31 August a floating mist net was successfully launched from the ship. During this same period the boat launching platform was lowered and unsuccessful attempts were made to collect cephalopods. The skiff was used 2 and 3 September for collecting birds while in the southern portion of the Grid. Attempts were made to collect specimens of Delphinus from the skiff as well as from the ship.
