STATIONS MADE BY THE R.R.S. 'WILLIAM SCORESBY' 



WS 18. TS 542. D II. 



26. xi. 26. 54° 07' S, 36° 23' W. Sounding rod, 113 m. 



About I cc. of refractory slate-blue mud, which resisted disintegration. Treated with soda it 

 yielded a residue of sand grains, mud pellets. Diatoms, sponge spicules and ten specimens of 

 Foraminifera representing seven species, including one specimen of Patellina conugata. 



WS 20. TS 548. E I. 



28. xi. 26. 53° 52' 30" 3,36° 00' W. 



A few grains of dark angular sand, containing specimens of six common Foraminifera only, 

 brought up in a net lowered to 500 m., hauled to 250 m., then closed. The Lucas Sounding Machine 

 had previously given bottom at 535 m. — rock. 



WS 25. TS 586-7. D II. 



17. xii. 26. Undine Harbour (North). Small beam trawl, 18-27 "i- 



Residues and mud from small beam trawl, containing many Foraminifera, Discorbis ghbidaris 

 being extremely common and Cassidiiliita crassa, Ehrenbergina crassa and Trochammiiia malovemis 

 very common. Glohigerinae frequent but very pauperate. Most other species very rare. 



WS 26. No TS. 



18. xii. 26. 53° 33' 15" S, 37° 45' 15" W. Sounding rod, 1 180 m. 



A few cc. of slate-grey mud, yielding a residue of Diatoms, Radiolaria and fine sand grains. 



WS 27. TS 526. C I. 



19. xii. 26. 53° 55' S, 38° 01' W. Residue from nets, 106-9 "''• 



A small quantity of dark muddy sand with organic debris and a few pebbles. Many Foramini- 

 fera. Cassidiilina crassa and Ehrenbergina crassa were very common. Many species, but few specimens 

 of Lagena. 



WS28. TS 527-8. CI. 



19. xii. 26. 53° 48' 15" S, 38° 13' W. Sounding rod, 150-346 m. 

 Two samples : 



(i) About a cubic inch of black sand from net which touched bottom at 145 m. Ilaplophrag- 

 tnoides canarieiisis very common, other Arenacea frequent, including Pelosina fiisiformis, Hippocre- 



pinella. 



(2) From a sounding of 346 m., a small quantity of tenacious grey mud with very few Fora- 

 minifera, Miliammina only being common. 



WS 31. TS 566. E II. 



20. xii. 26. 54° 52' S, 35° 36' W. Sounding rod, 77 m. 



Two stones and a very small quantity of sand. The stones had a few sessile specimens of 

 Psammosphaera fiisca, Tolypammina vagans and Glomospira gordialis, and the sand yielded many 

 specimens of shallow-water types representing six species. 



WS32. TS565B. EII. 



21. xii. 26. Mouth of Drygalski Fjord. Sounding rod, 225 m. 



About 25 cc. of light grey mud, which left only 2 cc. on a 200-mesh sieve. Diatoms, fine sand 

 and abundant minute Foraminifera, Virgulina schreibersiana dominant, Textularia tenidssima common. 



WS 33. TS 568 A-B, 569. E II. 



21. xii. 26. 54° 59' S, 35° 24' W. Sounding rod, 135 m. 



(i) Bottom sample — about 15 cc. of slate-coloured sandy mud with few Foraminifera. Ehrcn-
