42 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



WS 334. TS 552. E I. 



30. xii. 28. 53° 19' S, 35" 10' 30" W. Sounding rod, 3705 m. 



About 15 cc. of grey ooze with dari^ specks. Residue of pebbles and angular sand grains of all 

 sizes. Radiolaria, abundant Diatoms and many arenaceous Foraminifera, often fragmentary. 

 Marsipella cylindrica, Proteouwa diffltigiformis, Haphphragmoides subglohosiis, Psamniospliaera fiisca 

 were all frequent. The smaller species were poorly represented but included Ammochilostoma galeata 

 and Textularia nitens. 



WS 336. TS 553. E I. 



30. xii. 28. 53° 06' S, 34° 44' W. Sounding rod, 3647 m. 



About 8 cc. of pale grey mud with darker specks. Residue of pebbles and sand grains of all 

 sizes, Radiolaria and Diatoms. Very few Foraminifera, all arenaceous except Verneuilina bradyi and 

 ClavuUna communis. 



WS 340. No TS. 



8. i. 29. 53° 32' S, 37° 12' 30" W. Sounding rod, 740 m. 



A few sand grains only, the finer material probably washed out on the way up. No organisms. 



WS 343. TS 532. D I. 



8. i. 29. 53° 02' S, 37^ 06' W. Sounding rod, 2856 m. 



About 17 cc. of greenish grey mud which left only 2 cc. on the 200-mesh silk sieve. Residue of 

 Diatoms, Radiolaria and fine angular sand. Foraminifera very starved, and extremely rare, only six 

 species being recorded, among which were Textularia tenuissima and T. nitens. 



WS 344. No TS. 



9.1.29. 52° 50' S, 37° 01' W. Sounding rod, 2215 m. 



A few tiny pebbles, one of which bore a specimen of Tolypammina vagans, the only organism 

 seen. 



WS 345. No TS. 



9.1.29. 52° 41' S, 37° 06' W. Sounding rod, 2174 m. 

 A single tiny pebble without sessile organisms. 



WS348. TS558. EII. 



II. i. 29. 54° 23' 10" S, 35° 52' W. Sounding rod, 135 m. 



About 55 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured mud. Residue largely of Diatoms, sponge spicules and 

 fine sand. Very few Foraminifera, all of common types. 



WS 349. TS 559. E II. 



ii.i. 29. 54° 23' S, 35° 32' 30" W. Sounding rod, 267 m. 



About 35 cc. of fine grey mud with hardly any coarse residue, fine sand, Diatoms, spicules, 

 Radiolaria. Not many Foraminifera, all very small and pauperate. Virgulina schreibersiana and 

 Globigerina pachyderma common. 



WS351. TS561. EII. 



II. i. 29. 54° 21' 30" S, 34° 59' W. Sounding rod, 1170 m. 



About 15 cc. of blue-grey mud. Residue of pebbles and sand grains of all sizes, Diatoms, 

 Radiolaria and very few Foraminifera. These included Cyclammina canceUata, Marsipella elongata, 

 Proteonina tiibulata, Lagetia fimbriata and Bolivina cincta, six species of Globigerina and three of 

 Globorotalia. 



WS 353. TS 562. E II. 



12.1.29. 54° 18' S, 34^ 25' W. Sounding rod, 4041 m. 



About 2^ cc. of light grey ooze. Residue consisting of a flocculent mass of Diatoms, Radiolaria 

 and angular sand grains in about equal proportions. Very few Foraminifera and, except for a few 

 large fragmentary Arenacea, all were small and pauperate. No Globigerinidae or Rotaliidae.
