MATERIAL EXAMINED 39 



bergina crassa was the commonest species. No less than fifteen species of Lagena, mostly represented 

 by one or two specimens. 



(2) Debris from net which touched bottom at 130 m., sponge and zoophyte fragments, pebbles 

 and black sand with numerous Foraminifera, including Astrorhiza limicola, Planispirina bucculenta 

 var. placentiforwis, Turritellella laevigata, Nouria harrisii, Hippocrepina indivisa and other rare forms. 



WS 36. No TS. 



22.xii.26. 55° 20' IS" 8,34^46' 30" W. 



A very small sample of pelagic material from a vertical haul (N 70 V) of 500-250 m. contained 

 many Globigerinae ; G. dutertrei most frequent, then G. coiiglomerata ; G. bulloides and G. pachyderma 

 present, but rare. Specimens rather thin- walled. 



Another sample from 250 to 100 m. contained many Copepoda and Diatoms, but few Globi- 

 gerinae of the species G. dutertrei, conglomerata and bulloides.

22. xii. 26. 54° 45' S, 35° 11' W. Sounding rod, 318 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious dark grey mud. Very little residue, Diatoms, sponge spicules, angular 

 sand grains. Foraminifera numerous and well developed, but limited in species. Many Lagenae. 



WS 38. No TS. 



22-23. ^"- 26. 54° 01' S, 35° 14' w. 



A very small sample of pelagic material from a vertical haul (N 70 V), 250-100 m., yielded many 

 specimens of Globigerina dutertrei. 



WS 39. No TS. 



22. xii. 26. 54° 08' S, 35' 43' W. Sounding rod, 237 m. 



About 13 cc. of slate-green mud yielding hardly any residue on a 200-mesh sieve. Diatoms and 

 spicules but no Foraminifera. 



WS40. TS571. EIII. 



7. i. 27. 55° 09' S, 35° 58' W. Sounding rod, 183 m. 



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

 Diatoms, a few Radiolaria and Foraminifera, the latter well-developed specimens of the commoner 

 species. 



A vertical haul (N70 V), between 175 and 100 m., yielded a very small sample of pelagic material, 

 principally Globigerina dutertrei; G. bulloides very rare. All the specimens very thin walled.

7- i- 27- 54° 32' 45" S, 36° 43' 45" W. Sounding rod, 140 m. 



About 25 cc. of dark grey mud which yielded very little residue on the 200-mesh sieve, fine 

 sand. Diatoms and many Foraminifera of a few species only, Virgulina schreibersiana dominant. 



WS42. TS 574-5. DII. 



7. i. 27. 54° 41' 45" S, 36° 47' W. (i) Sounding rod, 175 m. ; (2) Net touched bottom, 198 m. 



(1) About 15 cc. of tenacious grey mud. Residue of stones, sand. Diatoms and a few 

 Foraminifera. 



(2) About 6 cc. of black sand with organic debris. Not many species of Foraminifera but some 

 interesting forms, including Hippocrepina indivisa (not found in Sample i), Hippocrcpinella hirudinea, 

 and Textularia tenuissima. Ehrenbergina crassa and other South Georgian species were common in 

 both samples. 



WS 43. TS 576. D II. 



7-8. i. 27. 54'' 54' S, 36° 50' W. Sounding rod, 200 m. 



About 10 cc. of dark slate-coloured mud, difficult to wash. Residue of sub-angular sand grains, 

 Diatoms and a few Foraminifera of the commoner species.
