29. V. 27. 50° 35' 30" S, 55° 59' 15" W. Baillie sounding rod, 612 m. 



About 12 cc. of dark grey mud reduced to 3 cc. by washing on 200 mesh silk sieve. The residue 

 consisted of Globigerinae with glauconite and sub-angular sand grains. Varied and abundant 

 Foraminifera, including Ehrenbergina hystrix var. glabra and VirgiiUna schreibersiana var. spinosa, 

 var.n. 



388. TS5i7E(i,2). A V. 



16. iv. 30. 56° 19' 30" S, 67° 09' 45" W. Dredge, 121 m. 



Polyzoan and Molluscan shell sand with large rounded pebbles and angular sand grains. 

 Gypsina itihaerens encrusting the pebbles, but no other sessile species seen. Quite 33 per cent of the 

 finer material was made up of one species, Cassidiilina crassa. The finest material contained an 

 abundant and varied fauna, including many of the new and rarer species found elsewhere in the 

 Falkland area. 



This station is probably very near the spot on which d'Orbigny made his famous deep sounding 

 within sight of Cape Horn (see ante p. 298).

WS71. TS518. cm. 



23. ii. 27. 6 miles N 60° E of Pembroke Light, East Falkland Islands. Trawl, 82-80 m. 



About 12 cc. of coarse debris mixed with shell sand and rounded quartz grains. Foraminifera 

 did not form a high percentage of the material, but were varied and in good preservation. Cassidulhia 

 crassa, C. siibglohosa, TrimcatuUna lobatula and T. akneriana were the dominant forms. There was a 

 long list of the commoner Falkland species with a few outstanding forms. 



WS72. TS497. cm. 



5. iii. 27. 51° 07' 00" S, 57° 34' 00" W. Snapper lead, 95 m. 



A few grains of shell and mineral sand, and two worm tubes, yielded nine of the commoner 

 species, mostly represented by single specimens. 



WS 73. TS 496. C III. 



6. iii. 27. 51° 01' 00" S, 58° 54' 00" W. Snapper lead, 121 m. 



A small quantity of grey sand with many glauconite grains. Uvigerina angulosa was extremely 

 common, other species (about twenty in all) mostly rare or very rare. 



WS76. TS482. Bill. 



11. iii. 27. 51° 00' 00" S, 62° 02' 30" W. Dredge, 207 m. 



Fine muddy sand, dark olive-green in colour, with very little coarser material. Foraminifera 

 very few in numbers except Cassidulina crassa and Uvigerina angulosa. Spiroplectammina biformis was 

 also common. Some interesting species were recorded, including Bulimitia ovula and Lagena hispida. 



wsn. TS478A/B. A III. 



12. iii. 27. 51° 01' 00" S, 66° 31' 30" W. Dredge, iiom. 



Dark brown sand with little mud. Foraminifera very scarce and generally pauperate. 



WS78. No TS (station slide). A III. 



13. iii. 27. 51° 01' 30" S, 64° 04' 30" W. Dredge, 95 m. 



Fine dark sand with little mud and practically devoid of organic remains. A few fragments of 

 worm tubes were seen, and the following Foraminifera only were obtained from the cleaned 

 material : Psammosphaera fusca, two coarsely built specimens ; Cassidulina crassa, one small speci- 

 men; Lagena squamosa, one specimen. 



WS79. TS479. A III. 



13. iii. 27. 51° 01' 30" S, 64° 59' 30" W. Dredge, 132 m. 



Dark sand with little mud and very few organic remains of any kind. Foraminifera very rare.
