Abstract
    An account is given of some very simple ways of determining the underwater courses of suspension and towing lines in respect both of slope and direction. The means employed is to enclose pendulums and compasses within suitable vessels containing hot gelatine solution. These are affixed to the lines whilst the gelatine solution is hot, so that after the cooling which comes from immersion in the sea, the pendulums and compasses become immovably fixed to give the necessary records. It is shown that the devices could serve very usefully in studies of the pelagic trawl, and could be adapted to determine the shape of trawling cables leading all the way down into the greatest ocean depths.
