25- ii- 3°- 56° 04' S, 29° 15' W to 56° 03' 15" S, 29° 20' W. Sounding, 3370 m. 



A very small quantity of pale grey diatom ooze, nearly all passing through 200-mesh silk sieve, 

 leaving a few large Foraminifera and scanty small species, entangled with diatoms. Proteonina 

 difflugiformis and Verneuilitm bradyi were the only species present in any numbers. A fair number of 

 the usual deep-water species of Arenacea were recorded and among rarer forms Ammobacidites 

 foliaceus var. recurva, Bigenerina tninutissima and Spiroplectatnmina filiformis.

26. ii. 30. 2-5 miles S 80° E of south-east point of Zavodovski Island, South Sandwich Islands. 

 Dredge, 329-278 m. 



About a cupful of dark mud, volcanic ash and scoriae. Foraminifera scanty but varied, and with 

 some interesting species including Ophthalmidium inconstans, Proteoimia tiibulata, BotelUna goesit, 

 Reophax cushmatii, Ammosphaeroidina sphaeroidiniformis, Trochanimina vesicularis, Turritellella 

 laevigata, Verneiii/ina superba and Lagena squamoso-alata.

2. iii. 30. Between Visokoi and Candlemas Islands, South Sandwich Islands. Sounding, 1536 m. 



A small quantity of grey mud, with a residue of diatoms and black volcanic ash. Foraminifera 

 extremely rare. The only species occurring with any frequency were Textularia tenuissima and T. 

 wiesneri. Among the rarer forms were Vanhoeffenella oculus, Hormosina ovicula and H. globulifera.

6. iii. 30. 4 cables south of Cook Island, South Sandwich Islands. Dredge, 155-322 m. 

 About a cupful of black volcanic mud, elutriations principally pumice and worm tubes built of 



pumice. Foraminifera very scanty, the only species occurring in any numbers being Haplophrag- 

 nioidcs canariensis, Troclwmnmia malovensis and four species of Milianmdna, arenacea, circularis, lata 

 and obliqiia. Among the rarer species were Storthosphaera elongata and PUulina arenacea. 



367. No station slide. Not marked on map. 



7. iii. 30. Beach Point, Thule Island, South Sandwich Islands. Sand from beach (surf line). 

 About a cupful of black volcanic sand yielded no organic remains of any kind. 



369. TS628A. Fig. I, HI. 



9. iii. 30. Between Southern Thule and Bristol Islands, South Sandwich Islands. Sounding, 

 1767 m. 



A small quantity of brown mud with a residue of scoriae of all sizes up to that of a pea, diatoms 

 and volcanic ash. Foraminifera were rare but varied, the only common species being Globigerina 

 pachyderma. Textularia tenuissima, Virgulina bradyi and Bulimina aculeata were frequent, all other 

 species rare, and often represented by single specimens. A few good specimens of Hormosina 

 globulifera and Cyclammina orbicularis and a single Spiroplectammina typica were recorded.

19. iii. 30. 58° S, 33° 44' W. Sounding, 2515 m. 



A small quantity of tenacious glacial mud with pebbles and sand grains of all sizes. Foraminifera 

 very scanty in the coarse material and hardly any in the fine. Radiolaria and diatoms abundant ; but 

 this was not a diatom ooze as stated in the Station List, the sand and Radiolaria being estimated at 

 45 per cent of the bulk as against 10 per cent diatoms. Psammosphaera fusca was the only species 

 occurring in any numbers, all the others being rare and generally represented by one or two speci- 

 mens. The species were all arenaceous and of the usual deep-water Antarctic forms, the only notable 

 specimens being Thurammina albicans and Bigenerina miniitissima.
