Date, 13th Jul}', 1909. Position, 4-M7 S., 1-IS.51 E. 

 Depth, 1 122 fathoms (bottom sample). 



Details. — Globigerina CJoze. Colour, pale green, with a 

 slight greenish tinge. 



Cakkuxate ok Lime. 



Residue. 



Note ox the Sample. 



1 his is a fairlv t\pical Globii^erina ooze, with a large per- 

 centage of residue insolulile in HCl, owing to the abundance 

 of silicious sponge-remains. 1 his occurrence of sponge- 

 spicules would naturally lead one to conclude that some of the 

 arenaceous foraminifera which form their tests of these 

 silicious needles would be present, and in this we are not 

 disappointed. Both TcchnitcUa and Mai'sipella occur here, 

 and the locality is new for both genera. Technitella legumen 

 was pre\ iously recorded off Sydney and near Kerguelen Island. 

 T. raphaiius is an exceedingl\' rare form, having been hitherto 

 obtained from onl\ one locaiit\ , \iz., oft Kandaxu, Fiji
