Ground VL The South Eddystone Fine Sanu. 



Hauls. 101 (Dr.) and 102 (Dr. and C.-dr.). 



The fauna at hauls 101 and 102 was practically the same, and 

 resembles most nearly that found on Ground III. (the Outer East 

 Sand). In one or two points, however, it resembles also that of the 

 fine sand of Ground II. (the Outer Trawling Ground). 



Bottom-deposit. Fine sand. The texture is as follows : — 



II. Coarse Gravel ... ... 0"2 per cent. 



III. Medium Gravel 0-2 



IV. Fine Gravel OS „ 



V. Coarse Sand ... ... ... 1-3 „ 



VI. Medium Sand 10-8 „ 



VII. Fine Sand 85-4 „ 



VIII. Silt 1-7 „ 



This resembles somewhat closely the sand of haul 91 (Ground III.).

[102. Average grade of sample, 6'849. Percentage of carbonate of 

 lime in whole sample, 14'86. Highest percentage occurs in II., which 

 contains 41"38 per cent., but this grade only represents 0'2 per cent, 

 of whole sample. In 102 VII., which is 85'4 per cent, of whole 

 sample, the percentage of CaCog is 1300. This is another fine-texture 

 sand. No Eddystone reef material occurs in either 102 II. or 102 III. 

 The latter grade consists, as regarding rock material, of 85 per cent. 

 Trias and 15 per cent. Devonian. 0'13 grams (two grains) of 102 

 VII. contained 48 Foramiuifera, or 369 per gram. The species of 

 Foraminifera present in 102 VI. and VII. are given below in order of 

 frequency : — llotalia heccarii, Tnmcatulina lohatula, Miliolina scmin- 

 idum, Discorhina rosacea, Sjnrolocidma i^lc-^ulata, Lagena orhignyana, 

 Bulimina pupoides. In all, seven species. — It. H. W.] 



Unbroken shells are fairly common. 



Burroiving species. Astropectai irregularis is represented by one 

 specimen in 102 only. Dcntalium cntalis is common, and fresh shells 

 of Cardium echinatum are abundant. Several specimens of Atelecyclus 

 heterodon were also taken. 



Fixed species. Cellaria is abundant, and the hydroid fauna is 

 practically the same as that on the sand of Grounds III. and IV.,
