284 THE FORAMINIFEEA 



ooze, from moderately deep water, not far from land 

 masses, yielded no less than 177 species, mainly of 

 bottom-living Foraminifera. 



'Ftewpod Oo,re.— Station 337. March 11), 1876. 

 South Atlantic. Lat. 24° 38' S., long. 13° 3(/ W. 

 Depth, 1,240 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 2*5° C. 

 (36*5° F.) The washed material consisted chiefly 

 of Pteropod shells, and the Foraminifera present 

 belonged exclusively to surface species. Amongst 

 the latter are most of the known forms of Globigerince 

 and of pelagic PnlcinuUnce, together with a consider- 

 able number of Hcistigerince and CandeiiicE.' 



'Ftenqxvl ;S'rt;;r/.— Station 24. March 25, 1873. 

 Off Culebra Island, N. of St. Thomas's, West Indies. 

 Depth, 390 fathoms. White material, with large 

 numbers of Pteropod shells. Yery rich in Forami- 

 nifera, particularly in the larger forms of NodoadriiiuF 

 and Text/il(tri(iue, and in arenaceous types. Of the 

 former the genera NodomrUi^ Liitguliiia, Froudicu- 

 laria, and CrideUafia are represented by remarkably 

 fine examples ; the Textularian group contributes 

 specimens of Textularia, Faroniua^ Bigeiierina, 

 Verneuilina, and Clavidina, which are equally 

 noteworthy, whilst the Arenacea furnish Blidhdani- 

 onina, Hgpt'raiinniiui, Cijclammina, and AmmGdiscus, 

 together with many of the smaller forms ; and the 

 Porcellanea are conspicuous in Orbiculiiia and large 

 Biloculince.^ 



This latter deposit also contains many pelagic 

 species not enumerated in the above diagnosis given 

 by Dr. Brady. The deposit, however, mighc equally
