This instrument worked better than preceding models for water sampling and was used regularly by Prince Albert I of Monaco. The first tests took place on board the PRINCESS ALICE in 1894 off Morocco in 2782 meters water depth. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. |  | Figure 17. Challenger model of the Buchanan bottle, devised by the chemist of the expedition, John Buchanan, to sample intermediary layer waters. Left: descending. Middle: closing. Right: ascending.

 | Figure 12. Buchanan piezometers (PRINCESS ALICE models) - These newer models were used on the PRINCESS ALICE II by their designer, John Y. Buchanan in 1902. The first test of these instruments was on July 31st, 1902 in 2589 meters at Lat . 37 31 00N, Long. 24 54 15 W. Subsequently readings were made as deep as 5943 meters.

These were instruments with variable weight and volume. Two of these instruments were improved and modified by Victor Chabaud and used during the Belgium Antarctic Expedition from the BELGICA from 1897 to 1899.

Dittmar device for extracting gases from sea water. This device was described by the British professor William Dittmar of Anderson's College in Glasgow. He used it to analyze sea water sampled during the CHALLENGER expedition. It complemented the use of the Jacobsen apparatus used by John Y. Buchanan during the CHALLENGER expedition.

 | Figure 26. Effects of pressure on different types of hollow tubes as studied by John Young Buchanan, both during his experiences on the CHALLENGER expedition and with Prince Albert I of Monaco on the PRINCESS ALICE II in 1902. Buchanan published his study of hyperpressure effects in 1903. The brass tube, copper sphere, and debris from a Portier and Richard bottle were all studied in 1902. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. |  | Figure 43. Buchanan hypsometer - this instrument is meant to determine altitude by relating the temperature of the boiling point of water to altitude. As altitude increases, the boiling point decreases. The instrument shown uses a method developed by Regnault and was used by John Young Buchanan in 1899. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. |
