Good bottom sample. Used 

 Pelican no. 1. [Evidence of 

 stratification of red clay and 

 globigerina ooze. Contains 

 one cinder (?)] 



Challenger 270 (p. 120); 02° 34' N, 149' 09' W. 2925 

 fathoms. Globigerina ooze; CaC03 = 71.47 per cent; 

 65 per cent pelagic foraminifera; 1 per cent ben- 

 thonic foraminifera; 5 per cent fish teeth, echinoid 

 spines, abundant coccoliths; 5 per cent radiolaria, 

 diatoms; 1 per cent angular volcanic gla^s, feld- 

 spar, manganese grains; 23 per cent fine "amor- 

 phous" matter and siliceous organisms. Lower 

 part of core nearly pure globigerina ooze, upper 

 part half and half siliceous and calcareous organ- 

 isms

Pelican no. 1 full of white globig- 

 erina ooze 



Challenger 271 (p. 120); 00° 33' S, 157° 34' W. 2425 

 fathoms. Globigerina ooze; CaCOs = 81.27 per cent. 

 Pelagic foraminifera 70 per cent; 3 per cent ben- 

 thonic foraminifera; 8 per cent fish teeth, lamel- 

 libranchs, ostracods, echinoderm fragments, bry- 

 ozoa, coccoliths; 10 per cent radiolaria, sponge 

 spicules, arenaceous foraminifera; 9 per cent clay 

 and siliceous remains; 1 egg-sized pumice frag- 

 ment collected 



Nansen water 

 bottle; vial 



Small amount of globigerina ooze 

 in Nansen bottle Y 



Challenger 274 (p. 122); 07° 25' S, 152° 15' W. 2750 

 fathoms. Radiolarian ooze; CaCOs =3.89 per cent; 

 red-brown colored, unctuous, slightly coherent, 

 earthy; largely siliceous organisms, some angular 

 small mineral grains, feldspar, augite, magnetite, 

 magnetic spherules, manganese, phillipsite, pum- 

 ice. Numerous manganese nodules, earbones of 

 cetaceans, shark teeth, pumice, palagonitic and 

 zeolitic materials obtained in trawl

Snapper not closed. Small amount None

 per 



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 



clase feldspar, angular quartz grains (possibly owing to contamination), basic volcanic glass, and mag- 

 netite. 



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

 amount 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.
