MATERIAL EXAMINED 309 



WS409. TS510. BIV. 



26. ii. 29. 53° 10' 00" S, 60'" 31' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 567 m. 



Three cc. of grey sandy mud which was washed on 200 mesh silk. Foraminifera were about 

 25 per cent of the residue, all small, specimens of Globigerina forming the bulk of the material. 

 Cassidulina laevigata was much more abundant than C. crassa, contrary to the usual proportion. 

 A good many species were listed but none of outstanding interest. 



WS431. TS523. DIV. 



1. V. 29. 52° 18' 00" S, 50° 59' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 341 1 m. 



A few grains of sand and glauconite with Globigerinae were collected on a filter paper. They 

 yielded seven species of Globigerina and three other forms, viz. Biloculina (icpimsa, Psammosphaera 

 ftisca and Glohorotalia crassa. 



WS432. TS520. DHL 



2. V. 29. 51° 56' 30" S, 53" 28' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 2432 m. 



A few grains of sand and glauconite with Foraminifera were collected on a filter paper. 

 Globigerinae formed the bulk of the material, six species being present. G. pachyderma was 

 dominant, being followed in order of frequency by G. bulloides, G. diitertrei, G. conglonurata, 

 G. triloba and G. elevata, the last represented by a single specimen. Piilletiia obliqiiiloculata was very 

 plentiful. Five other species were recorded, mostly rare, or single specimens. 



WS433. TS494A. cm. 



5. iv. 29. 51° 44' S, 56° 23' W. Bottom sample, 1035 m. 



Light grey mud with dark spots. Residue Globigerina ooze, Radiolaria and glauconite granules 

 in about equal proportions. Many interesting species of Foraminifera of deep water types. 



WS531. TS517A. BV. 



5. iv. 30. 54° 25' 30" S, 61° 25' 30" W. Baillie sounding rod, 118 m. 



A small quantity of grey shell sand with abundant Foraminifera. Among the rarities recorded 

 are Coriiiispira foliacea, Tecluiifella nitida, sp.n., Bifarina porrccta and Rotalia clathrata. 



No station no. TS 517 B. 



5. iv. 30 (A). 54° 33' 30" S, 61° 22' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, N.P.D. rod, 124 m. 

 About I cc. of grey shell sand yielded many Foraminifera, including five species of Globigerina 



and eight of Lagena. 



No station no. TS 517 C. 



6. iv. 30. 54° 35' 30" S, 61° 25' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 320 m. 



A small quantity of greenish grey sand, the colour being due to the presence of glauconite. 

 Foraminifera were abimdant and varied. Cassidulina, Globigerina and Uvigerina spp. dominant. 

 Among the rarer forms recorded are Nodosaria capitata, Herouallenia (Discorbis) kcmpii and Rotalia 

 clathrata. 



No station no. TS 517 D. 



5. iv. 30 (B). 54° 41' 05" S, 61° 19' 00" W. Baillie sounding rod, 569 m. 



A very small quantity of dark grey sand with shell fragments and abundant Foraminifera. 

 Uvigerina angulosa and Globigerina conglomerata and G. inflata were the dominant species, Cassidu- 

 lina being comparatively small and rare. The genus Lagena was represented by no fewer than four- 

 teen species out of the forty-four species recorded from the station. 



The material represented by TSS 517 B, C and D, was received too late for more than casual 

 examination, or to be marked on the Chart. A few dominant forms, and noteworthy species only, 

 are recorded. They are all in the same square BV on the chart.
