34 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



23. TS 592. (See Fig. 2.) 



14. iii. 26. 5-3 miles N 44° E of Merton Rock. Sounding rod, 228 m. 



About 10 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured mud. Residue mainly Diatoms and sponge spicules, 

 with numerous Foraminifera of a limited number of species. CassiduUna parkeriana was very com- 

 mon, Miliammi?ia oblonga, M. obliqua and Virgulina sclireibersiana common, the few other species 

 mostly very rare. 



27. TS 596-8. (See Fig. 2.) 



15. iii. 26. 3-3 miles S 44° E of Jason Light, West Cumberland Bay. Dredge, no m. 



A quantity of coarse black angular sand with Polyzoan and Echinoderm debris. Abundant 

 Foraminifera of the larger species: Ammohaciilites americamis very common; Tholosina hullo, T. 

 vesicularis, Ilaplophragmoidcs canarietisis, all common; Hyperammina suhnodosa and V anhoeffenclla 

 gaiissi, frequent; ArmoreUa sphaerica, Pelosphaera con/iita, rare. 



28. TS 599-600 A. (See Fig. 2.) 



16. iii. 26. 3-3 miles S 45° W of Jason Light, West Cumberland Bay. Sounding rod, 168 m. 

 About 14 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured mud yielding nothing but Diatoms and some Miliam- 



minae. Another sounding (STB) of about 8 cc. of similar mud from 65 m. yielded sand. Diatoms, 

 many Miliammmae and a few specimens representing five other species of Foraminifera. 



A sample of 7 cc. of coarse black sand from a dredging at 168 m. contained a few Foraminifera, 

 including HippocrepineUa hiriidinea. 



29. TS 600 B. (See Fig. 2.) 



16. iii. 26. 5-9 miles S 51° W of Jason Light, West Cumberland Bay. Sounding rod, 23 m. 



About 13 cc. of tenacious dark slate-coloured mud yielded a residue of fine sand and mud 

 pellets, very few Diatoms, and fewer Foraminifera, Psammospliaera parva and a single specimen only 

 of Bulhtiijia marginata being recorded. 



30. TS 601-2. (See Fig. 2.) 



16. iii. 26. 2-8 miles S 24° W of Jason Light, West Cumberland Bay. Sounding rod, 251 m. 

 Fifteen cc. of tenacious dark blue mud, yielding only a fractional residue of Diatoms, spicules 



and Foraminifera, including Tcxtularia temiissima. A quantity of muddy washings from dredge 

 residues, largely worm tubes, yielded about forty species of the smaller forms, including Ehrenbergina 

 pupa very rare, E. crassa frequent, and a single Tubinella funalis. 



31. TSS55. DIL 



17. iii. 26. 13-5 miles N 89° E of Jason Light. Sounding rod, 220 m. 



About ID cc. of tenacious slate-coloured mud. Residue of dark sand grains, many otoliths and 

 Diatoms, some Radiolaria and a few Foraminifera of the commoner species. Miliammina oblonga, 

 M. obliqua, Virgulina sclireibersiana and Nonionella iridea all common, Tholosina vesicularis frequent, 

 all other species rare. 



41. TS557. DIL 



28. iii. 26. i6| miles N 39° E of Barff Point. Sounding rod, 272 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious olive-brown mud. Residue mainly of Diatoms and fine sand grains. 

 A few Foraminifera, of three species only : Ammobaculites rostratus, Ehrenbergina crassa, Miliammina 

 obliqua. 



42. TS 588. (See Fig. 2.) 



i.iv. 26. Off the mouth of Cumberland Bay. Sounding rod, 204 m. 



About 12 cc. of dark slate-coloured mud. Residue of sand grains, Diatoms and a few Fora- 

 minifera of the commoner species. 



45. TS 593-4. (See Fig. 2.) 



6. iv. 26. 2-7 miles S 85° E of Jason Light. Nets on trawl, 238-270 m. 



Muddy trawl residues, largely consisting of sponge spicules in a felted mass with abundant 

 Diatoms and many Foraminifera. Biloculinae of several species, Pelosina, HippocrepineUa hirudinea
