WS225. TS483A/B. Bin. 



9. vi. 28. 50° 20' 00" S, 62° 30' 00" W. Dredge, 162 m. 



Dark olive-green muddy sand with stones which were encrusted with sessile species, Placupsilina 

 ccnomana being dominant. Foraminifera not very numerous in the finer material except Cassidulina 

 crassa, E/ire?ibergina pupa, Uvigerina angulosa and Truncatulina lobatula, all abundant. 



A small quantity of organic debris and sand, from nets on trawl, yielded the same species with some 

 additions, including BilocuUna globulus, Ammolagcna davata and Cornuspiia denticulata, sp.n. 



WS229. No TS (station slide). MIL 



I. vii. 28. 50° 35' 00" S, 57° 20' 00" W. Nets on trawl, 210-271 m. 



Some selected specimens of Protobotellina cylindrica and one specimen of Hyperammina 

 friabilis were received from this station. No other material. 



WS242. No TS (station sHde). MIL 



17. vii. 28. 51° 06' 00" S, 66° 30' 00" W. Dredge, 119 m. 



Dark brown sand. Among the coarser material a few pebbles yielded sessile species, including 

 Tholosiiia vesicularis var. erecta. The finer material was pure sand. 



WS243. TS480A/B. A III. 



17. vii. 28. 51° 06' 00" S, 64° 30' 00" W. 144 m. Residues from trawl and nets attached to 

 trawl. 



Organic debris of many kinds chiefly Polyzoan and sponge, often covered with sessile 

 Foraminifera. Tholosinaprotea, sp.n., was common on Hydroids ; Psammatodendron indivisum, sp.n., 

 Dendroiiiiia papillata and Tholosiiia vesicularis also occurred. Many selected specimens of Proto- 

 botellina cylindrica were received from this station ranging up to 2\ inches in length. The muddy 

 sand washed from the residues contained very few Foraminifera, all of the common Falkland types. 



WS245. TS505. BIV. 



18. vii. 28. 52° 36' 00" S, 63° 40' 00" W. Dredge, 304 m. 



Dark olive-green muddy sand. Very few Foraminifera in the coarser material, but in the fine 

 they were abundant, Uvigerina angulosa, Cassidulina spp. and Ehrenbergina pupa being dominant. 

 Many species of Lagena, notably L. clatlirata. Patellinoides depressa, sp.n. and Anomalina umbili- 

 catula, sp.n., were also found. 



WS246. TS506A/B. BIV. 



19. vii. 28. 52° 25' 00" S, 61° 00' 00" W. Nets on trawl, 267-208 m. 



Organic debris of all kinds with many shell fragments and some sand. The material was very 

 difficult to work over, but yielded a great many species, including Hyperammina clavigera, sp.n., 

 H. novae-zealandiae, Reophax cushmatii, nom.nov., R. distans var. pseudo-distans, Tholosina protea, 

 sp.n., Webbinella depressa, sp.n., Polytrema (?), etc. 



WS 248, TS 522. C IV. 



20. vii. 28. 52° 40' 00" S, 58° 30' 00" W. Dredge, 210 m. 



Muddy green-grey sand with shell debris, containing abundant Foraminifera, estimated at 

 20 per cent of the total material. Cassidulina crassa, C. siibglobosa, Ehrenbergina pupa and Uvigerina 

 angulosa were dominant, and with Globigeriiia conglonierata and G. pachydernia formed the bulk of 

 the gathering. Lagenae were varied, but with the exception L. fimbriata and L. biancae not 

 plentiful. 



WS408. TS516. BIV. 



26. ii. 29. 53° 50' 00" S, 62° 10' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 454 m. 



Dark grey muddy sand which yielded a very long list of species. Cassidulina crassa, Uvigerina 

 striata, Globigerina bulloides, G. dutertrei, G. triloba, Globorotalia scitula, G. truncatulinoides, 

 Pulviniilina elegaiis and P. umboiiata were all extremely common. Among the rarer forms were 

 Patellinoides depressa, sp.n., Lingulina quadrata, spinous forms of Nodosaria laevigata and A'^. rotuii- 

 data, and Lagena lagenoides var. radiata.
