WS 386. TS 653*. Fig. II, H I. 



16. ii. 29. 62° 41' S, 57° 44' W. Sounding, 1392 m. 



About 35 cc. dark brown mud yielding a residue of 3 cc. fine dark sand, diatoms, sponge spicules 

 and many Foraminifera. Recnrvoides coniortus, Trochammina bradyi and several species of Mili- 

 ammina were common, while rarer forms included Proteonina tubulata, Textularia nitetis and T. 

 zviesiieri. 



WS 387. TS 654. Fig. II, H I. 



16. ii. 29. 62° 49' S, 57° 40' W. Sounding, 640 m. 



About 40 cc. dark brown mud yielding a residue of nearly black volcanic sand, with a small pro- 

 portion of larger fragments. Foraminifera very scanty, except various species of Miliammina which 

 were more or less common. No species of outstanding interest were observed. 



WS 388. TS 657*. Fig. II, H I. 



16. ii. 29. 62° 55' 30" S, 57° 40' W. Sounding, 446 m. 



A few cc. pale brown mud yielded a residue of mud flakes, sand grains, diatoms and vegetable 

 fibres. A single specimen each of Hormosina ovicula and Cibkides refulgens represented the Fora- 

 minifera of the sample. 



WS 389. TS 684*. Fig. II, G II. 



16. ii. 29. 63° 17' S, 58° 51' 05" W. Sounding, 130 m. 



A few cc. dark brown mud. Residue on 200-mesh silk consisted of dark sand grains, sponge 

 spicules, diatoms and a few Foraminifera. The only species occurring with any frequency were 

 Psammosphaera fusca, Trochammina malovensis and Miliammina arenacea. Nothing outstanding 

 among the rarer species. 



WS 391. TS 680*. Fig. II, G II. 



17. ii. 29. 63° 02' S, 59° 12' W. Sounding, 877 m. 



About 30 cc. dark brown mud, leaving a residue of black volcanic sand with very few organic 

 remains. Miliammina spp., Trochammina nana and Virgulina bradyi were frequent ; most other species 

 represented by a few specimens, none of particular interest. 



WS 392. TS 676. Fig. II, G I. 



17. ii. 29. 62° 52' S, 59° 26' W. Sounding, 591 m. 



Only a pinch of dark sand was received, which contained many specimens of Globigerina 

 pachyderma and G. diitertrei, a few G. conglomerata and single specimens of six other common species. 



WS 393. TS 674*. Fig. II, G I. 



17-18. ii. 29. 62° 42' S, 59° 41' W. Sounding, 900-1 138 m. 



Three soundings were received from 900-1000, 1051 and 1138 m. respectively. They were all 

 the same, a dark brown mud yielding small residues of black sand, with diatoms and very few Foramini- 

 fera. Nothing occurred with any frequency, and nearly all were of the usual Antarctic species, found 

 in most gatherings. Among the rarer forms were Vanhoeffenella gaussi and Ehrenbergina parva. 



WS 394. TS 692*. Fig. II, F I. 



18. ii. 29. 62° 51' S, 60° 40' W. Sounding, 274 m. 



About 40 cc. dark brown mud, leaving a residue of black volcanic sand with very few organic 

 remains. Foraminifera represented by one or two specimens each of the commoner local species, 

 only Reophax pilulifer, Miliammina arenacea and M. oblonga occurring with greater frequency. 



WS 395. TS 705*. Fig. II, E II. 



19. ii. 29. 63° 48' 30" S, 62° 26' W. Sounding, 297 m. 



About 40 cc. dark brown mud left only 2 cc. residue on fine silk, consisting of fine sand, diatoms, 

 sponge spicules and many Foraminifera of the local species, some being very common. There was a 

 varied list of other forms, but few of special interest except Ehrenbergina parva.
