MATERIAL EXAMINED 37 



Five cc. of organic debris yielding a few Foraminifera including Pelosina, Miliammina and 

 Hippocrepinella. 



144. TS 536-8. D I, II. 



5. i. 27. From 54° 04' S, 36° 27' W to 53° 58' S, 36' 26' W, off the mouth of Stromness Har- 

 bour. Nets on trawl, 155-178 m. 



Fine washings from trawl, mud and organic debris. Residue largely of sponge spicules, Diatoms 

 and dark sand. Many Foraminifera : Tholosina bulla and T. vesicularis abundant among the larger 

 forms, and Miliammina oblonga, M. obliqua, Virgulina schreibersiana, Cassidiilina crassa, C. siib- 

 globosa, Haplophragmoides canariensis, Pulvinulina peruviana and P. karsteni equally abundant among 

 the smaller species. 



145. TS 590-1. (See Fig. 2.) 



7. i. 27. Between Grass Island and Tonsberg Point in Stromness Harbour. Trawl, 26-35 m. 



Washings from trawl, organic debris of all kinds. Diatoms abundant but Foraminifera very few, 

 though including such interesting species as Turritellella slioneana, Cornuspira selseyensis, Gordiospira 

 fragilis and Spirillina obconica.

9. i. 27. From 54° 03' S, 36° 39' W to 54" 05' S, 36" 30' W, off Cape Saunders. Nets on trawl, 

 132-148 m. 



About 40 cc. of coarse organic debris. Hyperammina subnodosa, Ammobaculites americanus and 

 Reophax subfusiformis very common. Many other large species, notably Bilocidinae and Arenacea, but 

 very few of the smaller South Georgian types, these presumably having been washed out. Armorella 

 sphaerica, Thurammina protea, Astrorhiza triangularis, Hippocrepinella and Pelosphaera occur. 



149. TS 604. (See Fig. 2.) 



ID. i. 27. Mouth of East Cumberland Bay. Nets on trawl, 200-234 m. 



A quantity of muddy debris, mainly Annelid and Crustacean, yielded a long list of 104 species, 

 no less than twenty-one of which were not recorded elsewhere in South Georgia. The majority were 

 species of world-wide distribution and might reasonably have been expected in the area, but several 

 forms being normally of warm water habitat, it was decided to reject the whole of the twenty-one 

 species for fear that the gathering might have been inadvertently fouled by admixture with foreign 

 material. Armorella sphaerica and Pelosina fusiformis were common. 



151. TS551. EI. 



16. i. 27. 53° 25' S, 35° 15' W. Sounding rod, 3200 m. 



About 5 cc. of grey mud with darker spots yielding a residue of dark sand, felted Diatoms and 

 Radiolaria. The Foraminifera were few, but interesting, including Cyclammina cancellata, Glomospira 

 charoides, Ammochilostoma pauciloculata and Ammobaculites foliaccus. 



157. TS 541. D I. 



20. i. 27. 53" 51' S, 36° 11' 15" W. Sounding rod, 970 m. 



About 3 cc. of dark mud yielding a residue of angular sand grains. Diatoms, Radiolaria and a few 

 of the common species of Foraminifera. 



660. TS 609. (See Fig. 2.) 



0-6 miles E of Hope Point, East Cumberland Bay. Dredge, 216 m. 



A quantity of slate-blue mud received dry in lumps. Difficult to clean and yielding very few 

 Foraminifera. Virgulina bradyi and V. schreibersiana were the only species occurring in any numbers, 

 but Ehrenbergina crassa and Miliammina oblonga were common. On the whole perhaps a typical 

 South Georgian mud. 

 No station no. TS 554. E I. 



19. ii. 26. 53° 00' S, 34° 22' 30" W. Sounding rod, 2472 m. 



About 12 cc. of pale grey mud — a Diatom ooze. Residue consisting of a few sand grains, 

 Diatoms, Radiolaria, veiy few Foraminifera, nearly all arenaceous.
