of Foraminifera, as I understand it was also for other classes of animals. Yet the material did not look 

 promising, as the Foraminifera did not form any appreciable proportion of the bulk. 



A tube was received containing some large specimens of Pihilina jeffreysii and various species of 

 Pyrgo, selected from the material as dredged. 



The number of species obtained was astonishing, and they included many forms rarely or never 

 met with at the other stations. Even to make a selection seems impossible, but it may be mentioned 

 that several new species were obtained.

About 15 cc. of brown mud, washed on 200-mesh silk gauze, yielded 2 cc. residue of fine sand 

 and pumice with many diatoms and Foraminifera. Miliotmnma arenacea, M. oblonga, Trochammina 

 bradyi, T. inconspicua, T. globigeriniformis and Textularia tenuissima were all common. Among rarer 

 forms were Textularia nitens and T. antarctica.
