MATERIAL EXAMINED 35 



specimens. Lagenae represented again by a great number of species and varieties, but often only a 

 single specimen of each. 



387. TS 719 F. Fig. I, D I. 



16. iv. 30. 56° 50' S, 66° 39' W. Sounding, 3102 m. 



A few cc. of grey ooze, residue i cc. of Globigerinae and fine angular sand. Globigerina co?i- 

 glomerata, G. pachyderma, and G. hiflata very common; G. dutertrei, Globorotalia truncatulinoides 

 and G. scitula common; the nineteen other species recorded being rare or very rare. Only three 

 species of Lagena vf&xe listed, and the only species of outstanding interest were Bolivina decussata 

 and Ehrenbergina pupa, one specimen of each.

26. ii. 27. South Shetlands, 62° 57' S, 60° 20' 30' W. Sounding, 967 m. 



About 15 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured mud gave a residue of 2 cc. of black scoriae, sand, many 

 diatoms and a few Foraminifera. Miliammina arenacea and M. obliqiia frequent, also several species 

 of Trochammina. Bolivina punctata was common and both megalospheric and microspheric forms 

 were recorded. Among rarer species were Textularia nitens and T. antarctica. 



No Station no. TS 720*. Fig. II, D III. 



19. iii. 27. Palmer Archipelago, 64° 56' S, 64° 43' W. Sounding, 435 m. 



About 13 cc. of pale brown mud, yielding a residue of angular sand grains of all sizes, and 

 diatoms. Foraminifera in poor condition and very few in numbers, Miliammina spp. and Bulimina 

 patagonica only occurring with any frequency. Nothing of particular interest except a fine specimen 

 of Reophax guttifer with six chambers.

WS199. TS629. Fig. I, F I. 



20. iv. 28. 58° 10' S, 44° 10' W. Sounding, 3813 m. 



About 35 cc. of slate-grey mud, easily washed but leaving little residue; angular white sand, 

 diatoms, Radiolaria and Foraminifera. These latter, though few in number and mainly arenaceous, 

 yielded a varied list of species including Proteonina tubulata, Thurammina albicans, Textularia 

 tenuissima, Reophax micaceus, Ammomarginulina ensis, Bigenerina minutissima and Spirolocammina 

 tenuis. 



WS 201. TS 637. Fig. I, E I. 



22. iv. 28. 59° 57' S, 50° 12' W. Sounding, 4134 m. 



About 20 cc. of light brown muddy sand, which yielded a residue of small pebbles and grey 

 sand with many Arenacea. Saccammina sphaerica, Haplophragmoides subglobosus, Recurvoides con- 

 tortus and Clavulina communis were all more or less common. Among the rarer species were Ammo- 

 sphaeroidina sphaeroidiniformis, Reophax cushmani, Textularia wiesneri, and Ammobaculites foliaceus 



WS 202. TS 640. Fig. I, E II. 



23. iv. 28. 60° 23' S, 52° 52' W. Sounding, 3987 m. 



A few cc. of dark grey mud with included harder lumps. The material was refractory, the lumps 

 failing to disintegrate after repeated drying and washing. They appeared to consist of sand mixed 

 with diatoms and were riddled with labyrinthic tunnels of some unknown organism. No Fora- 

 minifera seen in the lumps, but the finer residues yielded single specimens of six species of 

 Foraminifera, some Radiolaria and many diatoms. 



WS 203. TS 639. Fig. I, E I. 



25. iv. 28. 57° 42' S, 53° 12' W. Sounding, 4259 m. 



A few cc. of pale brown mud. Washed on 200-mesh silk gauze it gave a residue of Radiolaria, 

 diatoms, and sand with many Foraminifera, generally rather pauperate. Globigerina pachyderma,
