44 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



Light grey mud yielding a residue of mineral grains of all sizes, Globigerina ooze and Radiolaria 

 in about equal proportions. Globigeritiae of several species dominant. Many interesting and rare 

 species including Bolivina cincta, B. decussata, Ehrenbergina bradyi, Lagena formosa. 



WS 522. TS 525 G. 



28. ii. 30. 52" 56' S, 47° 14' W (between South Georgia and the Falkland Islands). Sounding 

 rod, 2550 m. 



Light grey Globigerina ooze with angular pebbles, sand grains and glauconite. Globigerina and 

 Globorotalia of various species formed quite 98 per cent of the organic remains. A long list of other 

 Foraminifera mostly represented by single specimens, including many Lagenae. 



WS 523. TS 525 C. 



2. iii. 30. 53° 07' S, 45° 00' W (between South Georgia and the Falkland Islands). Sounding 

 rod, 1697 m. 



Grey mud, yielding a residue of Radiolaria, Diatoms and fine mineral grains with a few Fora- 

 minifera, including Hormosina globuUfcra, Rcophax spiculifer and R. robustus. Globigerina pachy- 

 dcrma dominant, forming the bulk of the organic residue. 



No station no. TS 565 A. E II. 



21. xii. 26. Drygalski Fjord (to NW of Station WS 32). Sounding rod, 178 m. 



About I cc. of tenacious blue mud and a pebble. Residue of sand grains and mud pellets with 

 ten species of Foraminifera. Pelosina rotundata, P. variabilis were common, Miliammina frequent, 

 Spiroplectaniniina bifortnis and Tcxhdaria tenuissima very rare.

MS 14. TS 605. (See Fig. 2.) 



17. ii. 25. From 1-5 miles SE x S to 1-5 miles S \° W, of Sappho Point, East Cumberland Bay. 

 Small dredge 109-180 m. 



A small quantity of coarse black angular sand with organic debris (residues from small dredge), 

 yielded many species of Foraminifera, mostly rare, except Milianiniina oblonga and Ehrenbergina 

 crassa, which were common. 



MS 68. TS 606-8. (See Fig. 2.) 



2. iii. 26. 1-7 miles S J° E to 8| cables SE x E of Sappho Point, East Cumberland Bay. 

 Rectangular net 220-247 m. 



Several gatherings of mud, sand and sponge debris from nets, yielded a large number of species, 

 including many rarities, in spite of the unsatisfactory nature of the material, which was very hard to 

 clean. The area would appear to be very rich in Foraminifera if sufficient material could be collected. 

 Hippocrepinella hirudinea, H. alba, Hippocrepina oviformis, Textularia tenuissima, Miliammina lata, 

 etc.
