FORAMINIFERA AND OSTRACODA. — CHAPMAN. 



REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA AND OSTRACODA. 



I. — Introduction. 



In 1912, I dealti with a sample of Globigerina ooze taken from 

 1122 fathoms off the eastern coast of Tasmania. In some 

 respects this was a preliminary report, and the results, 

 together with notes on the new and rare species, are included 

 here, in conjunction with descriptions of further samples from 

 the same trawling expeditions. 



Three additional samples of soundings have been exam- 

 ined and their tabulated results are as follows : — 



Date.— I3th July, 1909 ; station 35. 



Position. — East of Tasmania Lat. 42^" 17' S., Long. 148° 

 35' E. 



Depth. — 377 fathoms (bottom sample). 



Details. — Globigerina ooze. Colour a pale cream. Con- 

 sisting almost entirely of the tests of Globigerina and Pulvi- 

 nulina. In the finer washings numerous stellate, calcareous 

 spicules of Ascidians were noticed. The quantity of material 

 being small, the percentage of carbonate of lime was not 

 estimated, but would be very high. No Ostracoda were seen 

 in this sample. 



Z>a^e.— 13th July, 1909. Station, 36. 

 Position.— Y^Ast of Tasmania. Lat. 42° 17' S., Long. 148° 

 41' E. 



Depth. — 777 fathoms. 



Details. — Globigerina ooze. Colour a pale cream.
