WS 44. No TS. 



8.i.27. 55° 06' S, 36° 57' W. 



A small quantity of pelagic material taken in a vertical haul (N 70 V) between 250 and 100 m. 

 yielded abundant Globigerinae. G. dutertrei was dominant, associated with G. conglomerata frequent, 

 and G. pachyderma rare. Only a few specimens of G. biilloides were present.

8. i. 27. 54° 38' 30" S, 37° 30' 55" W. Sounding rod, 180 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious dark grey mud. Residue of stones and angular sand grains of all 

 sizes, Diatoms, scanty Foraminifera of common species. 



WS46. TS578. DII. 



8. i. 27. 54° 20' 15" S, 37° 32' 30" W. Sounding rod, 194 m. 



About 12 cc. of slate-coloured mud. Residue of pebbles and sand grains of all sizes, Diatoms, 

 very few Foraminifera, mostly common species, but including a specimen of Lageua spiimosa. 



WS 47. TS 579. D II. 



9. i. 27. 54° 22' S, 37" 50' W. Sounding rod, 160 m. 



About 15 cc. of very tenacious blue-grey mud, yielding 2 cc. of residue, consisting of angular 

 black sand with abundant Diatoms, but very few Foraminifera, which, however, included some 

 interesting forms : Proteonina tiibulata, Textidaria temtissima, and Coniuspira seheyeusis. 



WS 48. TS 580. C II. 



9. i. 27. 54° 24' S, 38° 09' W. Sounding rod, 224 m. 



About 15 cc. of dark slate-coloured mud. Residue of pebbles and angular sand grains. Diatoms, 

 very few Foraminifera of fourteen species only, six of which were Lageua. 



WS 49. No TS. C II. 



9. i. 27. 54'^ 28' S, 38° 22' 15" W. Sounding rod, 223 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious dark grey mud. Very little residue, sand grains, spicules. Diatoms. 

 Only a few Foraminifera of the commoner species. 



WS50. TS581. CII. 



9. i. 27. 54° 30' 30" S, 38° 40' 30" W. Sounding rod, 230 m. 



About 10 cc. of tenacious dark slate-coloured mud. Residue principally of a felted mass of 

 Diatoms with many Foraminifera of the usual common species, Virgulina schreibersiana dominant. 



WS51. TS582. CII. 



9.1.27. 54° 34' S, 38° 57' W. Sounding rod, 210 m. 



A few small sub-angular pebbles and sand grains, many of the pebbles covered with sessile 

 Foraminifera, including a specimen of VanhoeffencUa gaiissi loosely attached by extruded proto- 

 plasm. The few species obtained from the sand included Milianimina lata and Ehrenbergina hystrix 

 var. glabra, suggesting an area rich in species. 



WS52. TS585. CII. 



ID. i. 27. 54° 03' 30" S, 38° 35' W. Sounding rod, 84 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious dark grey mud. Residue of angular black sand. Diatoms, sponge 

 spicules, Radiolaria, and twelve species of Foraminifera, represented by one or two specimens only, 

 except Miliammina oblonga and M. obliqua, which were frequent. 



WS61. NoTS. 



18. i. 27. 53° 37' 30" S, 37" 06' 30" W. Sounding rod, 1893 m. 



A few small pebbles, attached to which were four species of sessile Foraminifera. Also some 

 sand grains, many glauconitic, some Radiolaria and Diatoms, but no other species of Foraminifera. 

 The sessile specimens were ToJypammina vagans common, Placopsiliiia cenomana many, Glomospira 

 gordialis several, and Psammosphaera fusca one only.
