MATERIAL EXAMINED 305 



WS80. TS481. Bill. 



14. iii. 27. 50° 57' 00" S, 63" 37' 30" W. Dredge, 152 m. 



Coarse dark sand with little mud and scanty organisms. Foraminifera scarce, except Cassidtdina 

 crassa and Uvigemia aiigidosa, both of which were abundant. A few selected specimens of Proto- 

 botellina cylindrica and a specimen of Hyperammina friabilis obtained from trawl residues at this 

 station were also received. 



WS 83. TS 507 A/B. B IV. 



24. iii. 27. Fourteen miles S 64° W of George Island, East Falkland Islands. Dredge, 137 m. 



Shell sand with rounded and highly polished sand grains. Very few Foraminifera in the 

 coarser grades, but the finer grades consist very largely of Cassidulinae which formed an estimated 

 90 per cent, of the material, the species attaining a large size. Other Foraminifera present in great 

 variety but smaller numbers, the genus Lagena being particularly varied. Among the rarer forms 

 listed were Cristellaria angulata, Lingiilina translucida, nom.nov., L.falcata and Chilostomella oolina. 



WS84. TS521. CIV. 



24. iii. 27. 7J- miles S 9° W of Sea Lion Island, East Falkland Islands. Dredge, 75 m. 



A large quantity of dried sand, about equal proportions of calcareous and siliceous particles. 

 Foraminifera were not prominent in the material except Cassididiua crassa and C. subglobosa. A long 

 list of the ordinary Falkland species, with few forms of special interest. 



WS86. TS517. BIV. 



3.iv. 27. 53° 53' 30" S, 60° 34' 30" W. Dredge, 151m. 



Coarse shell sand with plentiful Foraminifera in the finer material. Cassidulina crassa, Ehren- 

 bergina pupa and Uvigerina angulosa the dominant types. Many Lagenidae and MilioUdae. 



WS87. TS524. Fossils, TS 525. C V. 



3.iv. 27. 54° 07' 30" S, 58° 16' 00" W. Dredge, 96 m. 



Dark sand with stones and shells. The material yielded a long list of species, Cassidtdina crassa 

 and Uvigerina angulosa as usual very abundant. Among the notable records were Heronalleina 

 {Discorbis) kempii and Discorbis plana, sp.n., Cornuspira denticulata and Spirillina tuberculata. 



A great many species of fossil Foraminifera, perhaps derived from a submarine outcrop, were 

 observed at this station. 



WS88. TS 512, 513,514. A IV. 



6. iv. 27. 54° 00' 00" S, 64° 57' 30" W. Dredge, 118 m. 



Coarse sand, about equal proportions of Polyzoa and shell debris, and brown angular mineral 

 sand with very little mud. The coarser material was encrusted with Gypsina inhaercns. Foraminifera 

 abundant and varied. Cassidulina crassa very common and very large. Anomalina vermiculata 

 common in all stages of growth. This was one of the richest gatherings received and yielded a very 

 long list, including several new species and many rarities, especially among the Lagenidae. 



WS 89. TS 508. A IV. 



7. iv. 27. 9 miles N 21° E of Arenas Point Light, Tierra del Fuego. Dredge, 23 m. 

 Gravel with blue mud. Foraminifera fairly numerous and varied. Many species of Lagena, 



including L. laureata, sp.n., and L. digitale, sp.n. 



WS 90. TS 504. A IV. 



7. iv. 27. 13 miles N 83° E of Cape Virgins Light, Argentina. Dredge, 82 m. 



Dark brown sand with some greenish mud. Little coarse material and few sessile forms. The 

 finer material yielded a long list of species, but the specimens as a whole were small and starved. 

 Cassidulina crassa very common, but none of the large individuals so typical of most Falkland 

 dredgings. Among the rarer forms were Lagena danica, L. digitale, sp.n., Nodosaria lepidida and 

 Cristellaria tenuissitna, sp.n.
