27. iii. 27. Off C. Kaiser, Brabant Island, Palmer Archipelago. Sounding, 800 m. 



About 15 cc. tenacious dark grey mud yielded less than 0-5 cc. residue on silk gauze, largely 

 sand grains and diatoms. Foraminifera few but varied, and generally pauperate, the arenaceous forms 

 being extremely fragile. Boliviiia punctata common, several species of Trocliawmiiia and Miliam- 

 mina oblonga frequent. Among rarer forms were Reophax flexibilis and Textularia antarctica.

28. iii. 27. 2| miles east of Deception Island, South Shetlands. Sounding, 812 m. 



About 10 cc. dark mud giving a residue of dark volcanic sand. Foraminifera few in numbers but 

 varied, including, in addition to all the common local forms, many rarities among which were 

 Vanhoejfenella ocidus and Reophax micaceus.

30. iii. 27. Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetlands. Dredge, 391 m. 



A small quantity of tenacious dark mud, with a residue of angular sand grains. Foraminifera 

 scanty but rather varied. Cassidtdina crassa, C. subglobosa, VirguUna schreibersiana and V. bradyi 

 were the only common species. Among the rarer forms were Textularia antarctica, Ehrenbergina 

 parva and Lagena reniformis.

3. iv. 27. Bransfield Strait, South Shetlands, 62° 17' 30" S, 58° 21' W. {a) Sounding, 720 and 

 loii m.; [b) muddy residue from townet, 720 m. 



Two separate soundings {a) were received from 720 and lou m. respectively, each a dark brown 

 mud yielding residues of fine dark sand, diatoms, sponge spicules and scanty Foraminifera. Trocham- 

 mi)ia bradyi, Miliammina arenacea, Textularia tenuissima and Bolivina punctata were common; the 

 other species varied but presenting no unusual forms. The muddy residues {b), from a townet which 

 had touched bottom, differed in having few of the small species found in the soundings, these having 

 been washed away. Reophax dentaliniformis, Haplophragmoides canariensis and Recurvoides contortus 

 were common. A new Astrorhiza, A. polygona, was very rare.

3. iv. 27. Bransfield Strait, South Shetlands, 62° 27' S, 58° 11' 30" W. Sounding, 1974 m. 



About 12 cc. brown mud leaving hardly any residue: very few mud pellets, diatoms and Fora- 

 minifera which were nearly all pauperate. Trochamrnina bradyi was the only common species. 

 Recurvoides contortus, Textularia tenuissima and Miliammina obliqua were frequent. Most other 

 species represented by one or two specimens, and none was of particular interest.

3. iv. 27. Bransfield Strait, South Shetlands, 62° 38' S, 58° 04' W. Sounding, 1600 m. 

 About 10 cc. dark brown mud yielded a residue of less than i cc. mud pellets, sand grains, 



diatoms and a few Foraminifera. Miliammina spp. and Trochamrnina bradyi were as usual the 

 commonest forms, most others being rare or very rare. Among them were Vanhoejfenella oculus, 

 Textularia tenuissima, Proteonina tubulata, Ehrenbergina pupa, and Reophax longiscatiformis.

4. iv. 27. Bransfield Strait, South Shetlands, 62° 49' S, 57° 56' 30" W. Sounding, 735 m. 



A few cc. of dark mud yielding i cc. residue of dark sand, some sponge spicules and diatoms. 

 Foraminifera represented by a few species only and, except for Miliammina arenacea and M. oblonga 

 which were common, by one or two specimens only of each species, none being of particular interest.

4. iv. 27. Bransfield Strait, South Shetlands, 62° 59' 30" S, 57° 49' W. Sounding, 345 m. 

 About 8 cc. dark brown mud yielded 3 cc. residue of dark angular sand with many diatoms and
