MATERIAL EXAMINED 



27 



(a) The bottom sample consisted of about 20 cc. dark olive-green mud, largely diatomaceous. 

 Foraminifera abundant but in no great variety. Among the rarer forms were Gordiospira fragilis and 

 Hippocrepinella alba. The dominant species were Psammosphaera parva, Miliammina oblonga, 

 M. aretiacea, Cassidiilina crassa, and ribbons of an organism suggesting Rhizammina algaeformis. 



(b) Organic residues, principally molluscan, angular sand grains and sponge spicules. Fora- 

 minifera in the finer material much the same as in (a). Some specimens of Hvperaniinina siibiiodosa 

 selected from the nets were also received.

About 18 cc. dark grey tenacious mud, a diatom ooze; washed on 200-mesh silk gauze the 

 residue consisted of diatoms {Coscinodiscus sp.), Radiolaria, sponge spicules and a few sand grains of 

 varying sizes. Foraminifera few in number and largely pauperate, but with many species of interest 

 including Proteonina micacea, P. tubulata, Textularia temnssima, T. nitens, T. wiesneri, T. antarctica 

 and Globotextularia anceps.

 Dark grey sand, of all grades, with stones. This was one of the richest hauls received for variety
