Good bottom sample. Used 

 Pelican no. 1. [Evidence of 

 stratification of red clay and 

 globigerina ooze. Contains 

 one cinder (?)] 



Pelican no. 1 full of white globig- 

 erina ooze 



Small amount of globigerina ooze 

 in Nansen bottle Y 



Snapper not closed. Small amount 

 red clay inside jaws 



Snapper half full of white globig- 

 erina ooze 



Challenger 270 (p. 120); 02° 34' N, 149° 09' W. 

 2925 fathoms. Globigerina ooze; CaC03=71.47per 

 cent; 65 percent pelagic foraminifera; 1 percent 

 benthonic foraminifera; 5 per cent fish teeth, 

 echinoid spines, abundant coccoliths; 5 per cent 

 radiolaria, diatoms; 1 percent angular volcanic 

 glass, feldspar, manganese grains; 23 per cent 

 fine "amorphous" matter and siliceous organ- 

 isms. Lower part of core nearly pure globiger- 

 ina ooze, upper part half and half siliceous and 

 calcareous organisms 



Challenger 271 (p. 120); 00° 33' S, 157° 34' W. 

 2425 fathoms. Globigerina ooze; CaC03=81.27 per 

 cent. Pelagic foraminifera 70 per cent; 3 per cent 

 benthonic foraminifera; 8 per cent fish teeth, 

 lamellibranchs, ostracods, echinoderm fragments, 

 bryozoa, coccoliths; 10 per cent radiolaria, 

 sponge spicules, arenaceous foraminifera; 9 per 

 cent clay and siliceous remains; 1 egg- sized 

 pumice fragment collected 



Challenger 274 (p. 122); 07° 25' S, 152° 15' W. 

 2750 fathoms. Radiolarian ooze; CaC03=3.89 per 

 cent; red-brown colored, unctuous, slightly coher- 

 ent, earthy; largely siliceous organisms, some 

 angular small mineral grains, feldspar, augite, 

 magnetite, magnetic spherules, manganese, phil- 

 lipsite, pumice. Numerous manganese nodules, 

 earbones of cetaceans, shark teeth, pumice, 

 palagonitic and zeolitic materials obtained in trawl

Carnegie-Ross 

 pelican- 

 snapper; ? 



Carnegie -Ross 

 pelican- 

 snapper 



Snapper came up with jaws held 

 partly open by small black 

 nodule; small amount ooze and 

 clay inside jaws 



Pelican no. 1 came up closed, but 

 only smear of bottom mud. Must 

 have closed going down 



plagioclase feldspar, angular quartz grains (possibly owing to contamination), basic volcanic glass, and 



magnetite. 

 Sample 83. Probably partially washed on being brought up. Consists of pelagic foraminifera and small 



amoimt of manganese grains. 

 Sample 84. Too small for detailed microscopic examination. 

 Sample 85. Consists almost entirely of unbroken tests of pelagic foraminifera, together with traces of 



calcareous and arenaceous benthonic foraminifera, echinoid spines, radiolaria, and sponge spicules. 

 Sample 86. Lost in destruction of Carnegie at Apia. 

 Sample 87. Lost in destruction of Carnegie at Apia.
