LIST OF STATIONS 



17 



Arenaceous Foraminifera were comparatively rare. Evidence of Pacific water influence indicated by 

 several species, Lagena exscu/pta, L.fimbriata var. occlusa, L. stelligera, L. sidebottomi, L. desmophora. 

 Numerous crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate were observed. 



290. (Deposit No. 14.) 



6. iii. 03. 67" 39' S, 36^ 10' W. Sounding, 2500 fathoms. 



Glacial Mud. (Blue Mud.) 



About 400 cc. of tenacious blue clay which, after drying, broke down readily, leaving very little 

 residue: a manganese-coated pebble, many large sand grains, fine angular sand, a few crystals of 

 gypsum and abundant crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate, mostly small. Sixteen species of 

 arenaceous Foraminifera, mostly represented by single specimens, the most interesting species being 

 Hippocrepina flexibilis. Sponge spicules and Radiolaria very rare; no diatoms.

295. (Deposit No. 15.) 



10. iii. 03. 66" 40' S, 40° 35' W. Sounding, 2425 fathoms. 



Glacial Mud. (Blue Mud.j 



About 180 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured clay was dried and washed twice, yielding as residue 

 a pebble coated with manganese and sessile organisms, and about i cc. of angular sand grains of all 

 sizes. Very few Radiolaria or sponge spicules, and no diatoms. Some glauconite, and a few small 

 crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate. Foraminifera very rare ; all arenaceous. 



300. (Deposit No. 16.) 



12. iii. 03. 65° 29' S, 44" 6' W. Sounding, 2500 fathoms. 



Glacial Clay. (Blue Mud.) 



About 150 cc. of tenacious blue clay which left hardly any residue on the 150-mesh silk sieve; 

 angular sand grains of all sizes ; Radiolaria and sponge spicules ver\' rare ; no diatoms ; much mica 

 and a few crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate ; some unrecognizable fragments of large Foraminifera. 

 The smaller species were scanty, worn and broken. Cychimniina piisilla was the only form occurring 

 with any frequency; most of the others were represented by single specimens. Of the ten species 

 listed, three were calcareous ; viz. Lageiia globosa var. setosa, Globigerina pachyderma and Eponides 

 bradyi.
