36 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



Psammosphaera fusca, Trochammina hradyi, T. squamata, T. tiano were all frequent. Among the rarer 

 species were Reophax longiscatiformis, Gatidryina apicularis, Ammomarginulina ensis and Spiro- 

 plectammina filiformis. 



WS 204. TS 643. Fig. I, E I. 



26. iv. 28. 56° 27' S, 54° 22' W. Sounding, 3388 m. 



A few cc. of pale brown mud yielding a residue of Globigerina ooze with some sand grains and 

 many Radiolaria. Globigerina inflata was dominant, G. conglomerata, G. pachyderma, G. elevata, 

 G. buUoides, G. dutertrei and G. triloba coming next in this order of frequency. A new species of 

 Globigerina, G. megastoma, was represented by a few specimens. The finer material yielded a long list 

 of species, including many Lagenae and some interesting rarities.

27. iv. 28. 55° 49' S, 56° 18' W. Sounding, 4207 m. 



A few cc. of pale brown mud yielding a residue of Globigerinae and GloborotaJiae , with a little 

 angular sand. Globigerina inflata and G. pachyderma were dominant. Other Foraminifera were 

 generally represented by a few specimens only, and few were of outstanding interest. 



WS 377. TS 630. Fig. I, F I. 



9. ii. 29. 58° 34' S, 44° 47' W. Sounding, 2552 m. 



About 20 cc. light brown-grey ooze which yielded a residue of 3 cc. on 200-mesh silk gauze. 

 The residue was principally sand with a few tiny pebbles, Radiolaria and diatoms. Foraminifera were 

 very rare and mostly small and pauperate. The only species occurring with any frequency was 

 Textularia tenuissima, most of the other species being represented by single specimens. 



WS 381. No Station slide. Not marked on map. 



14. ii. 29. 61° 26' S, 56° 19' W. Sounding, 425 m. 



A pinch of muddy sand with a few sponge spicules and diatoms contained no Foraminifera. 



WS 382. TS 665*. Fig. II, G I. 



15. ii. 29. 62° 15' 35" S, 58° 18' 30" W. Sounding, 425 m. 



About 30 cc. dark brown mud yielded very few Foraminifera, Miliamtrmia arenacea being the 

 only common species. Psammosphaera fusca, Virgiilina bradyi and Cassidulinoides parkeriamis 

 occurred frequently ; all other species very rare, and none of particular interest. 



WS 383. TS 670*. Fig. II, G I. 



15. ii. 29. 62° 20' 40" S, 58° 13' W. Sounding, 2085 m. 



About 40 cc. dark slate-coloured mud yielded 2 cc. residue of fine sand, diatoms and sponge 

 spicules wuth many Foraminifera, though of limited species. Psammosphaera parva, Recurvoidcs 

 contortiis, Trochammina inconspicua, T. bradyi, T. malovensis, and Cassidulina crassa were all more or 

 less common. Among the rarities were Proteonina tubulata and Textularia antarctica. 



WS384. TS671*. Fig. II, G I. 



15. ii. 29. 62° 25' 40" S, 58° 06' 10" W. Sounding, 1957 m. 



About 40 cc. brown mud left hardly any residue on 200-mesh silk gauze. Foraminifera were 

 plentiful though limited in species. Miliammina oblonga and Trochammina bradyi were very common. 

 Among rare forms were Cyclammina orbicularis, Proteonina tubulata and Hippocrepinella alba. 



WS 385. TS 652. Fig. II, H I. 



16. ii. 29. 62° 32' S, 57° 55' W. Sounding, 1838 m. 



About 50 cc. dark brown mud, nearly all of which passed through 200-mesh silk gauze, leaving 

 a residue of mud flakes, volcanic ash and diatoms. Foraminifera very rare except Miliammina spp., 

 Trochammina bradyi and T. malovensis, but including many interesting species such as Vanhoeffenella 

 oculus, Hippocrepinella alba and Thurammina papillata.
