noteworthy. Textularidae, by Textularia, Gaudryina, Verneuilina, Ehrenbergina, 

 Clavulina, and Cassidulina, 9 species of Lagena, 1 Nodosaria, 1 Cristellaria, 

 2 Polymorphina, 2 Uvigerina, 5 Globigerina, with 1 Pullenia. Amongst the Rotalidse, 

 4 Truncatulina, 5 Pulvinulina, 1 Rotalia. Lastly, 1 Nonionina i.e. practically all 

 the types peculiar to a Globigerina ooze, of the South Atlantic and Southern Ocean. 



STATION 346, lat. 54 25' S., long. 57 32' W. 



On the Burdwood Bank, depth 56 fathoms. The trawl brought up a large number 

 of masses of calcareous, shelly, and Foraminiferal sand with large colonies of Cephalo- 

 discus agglutinans ; and from these no fewer than eighty species belonging to twenty- 

 five different genera of Foraminifera were obtained. With a few exceptions, they are 

 all of typical Antarctic shallow- water character, but arenaceous types are conspicuous 

 by their absence, being represented by Trochammina nitida only. 



The Miliolinidse are well represented by six genera and fourteen species, of which 

 Nubeculina bradyi, Miliolina ferussacii, and Articulina funahs are typical Antarctic 

 species ; while it is of interest to have found here also Cornuspira fohacea, although 

 of comparatively small size, which occurs widely but reaches its best development in 

 the North Atlantic and North Sea. 



The Textularidse are well represented by several species of Bulimina, Cassidulina, 

 and Ehrenbergina. The Lagense alone yield twenty-four species, the most common 

 being L. gracilis. Of the rarer species may be mentioned L. trigonomarginata, L. 

 liispida, and L, castrensis. Nodosaria gave five species; Cristellaria four species; 

 Polymorphism two, Uvigerina two, and Globigerina five. 



The most abundant species observed in the sample are G. bulloides (typical), 

 G. dutertrei, Truncatulina variabilis, and Polystomella crispa. Three new species 

 are described, viz. Lagena hispidipholus, Polymorpliina inflata, and Miliolina 

 dentistoma. 



STATION 387, lat. 65 59' S., long. 33 06' W. 



Depth 2625 fathoms. A brown tenacious glacial clay, with a trace of lime. In 

 the small sample the only Foraminifera found are Proteonina difflugiformis, 

 Globigerina dutertrei, and G. pachyderma. 



STATION 416, lat. 71 22' S., long. 18 15' W. 



Depth 2370 fathoms; bottom temperature 31'5 F. A greenish-gray unctuous 

 glacial clay, with a trace of lime. Some two ounces of deposit yielded five genera of 

 arenaceous Foraminifera, viz. Psammosphsera, Gordiammina, Reophax, Haploplirag- 

 moides, and Cyclammina. No pelagic or porcellanous forms were found. 



STATION 417, lat. 71 22' S., long. 16 34' W. 



Depth 1410 fathoms; bottom temperature 31'9 F. A greenish-gray glacial mud, 

 with rock-fragments and glauconite grains, containing 4 per cent, of lime.
