WS 396. TS 704*. Fig. II, E II. 



19. ii. 29. 63° 38' 30" S, 62° 28' 30" W. Sounding, 318 m. 



A few cc. brown mud, with a residue of fine sand, a few diatoms and occasional Foraminifera. 

 Ten species in all were recorded, a few specimens of each, the only species occurring with greater 

 frequency being Virgulina bradyi. None of the others was of particular interest. 



WS 399. TS 690*. Fig. II, F I. 



20. ii. 29. 62° 50' S, 61° 58' 30" W. Sounding, 738 m. 



A few cc. light brown mud yielding a residue of dark sand with few organic remains. Only nine 

 species of Foraminifera were listed, each represented by one or two specimens, the only rarity being 

 a single specimen of Lagena revertens. 



WS400. TS701. Fig. II, EI. 



21. ii. 29. 62° 07' S, 62° 33' W. Sounding, 4517 m. 



About 35 cc. of tenacious brown mud, (a red clay), which resisted the usual cleaning processes 

 and was eventually broken down with hot soda solution. It left a residue of i cc. sand grains of all sizes, 

 many being large, a few Radiolaria, diatoms and Foraminifera. The latter were very rare but varied. 

 In addition to many normal deep-water species were several rarer forms, including Proteonina 

 tiibulata, Spiroplectammina siibcylindrica, Ammomarginulina ensis, Spirolocammina tenuis and Cystam- 

 mina argent ea. 



WS403. TS719A. Fig. I, EI. 



22. ii. 29. 59° 40' S, 64° 35' W. Sounding, 3721 m. 



About 60 cc. pale brown mud yielded about 12 cc. residue, at least 60 per cent of which was 

 Globigerina ooze, with G. pachyderma dominant, G. conglomerata, G. triloba and G. bulloides less 

 common in this order of frequency. Radiolaria accounted for quite 30 per cent of the residue, the 

 balance being made up of other species of Foraminifera, an extremely long and varied list. Lagetiae 

 very varied, but few specimens of each species. A great number of interesting rarities and several new 

 species were obtained at this station. 



WS 468. TS 645. Fig. I, E I. 



9. xi. 29. 55° 52' S, 56° 53' W. Sounding, 4344 m. 



A small quantity of pale brown-grey mud yielding as residue a pebble, sand grains, Globigerinae 

 and Radiolaria. The finer grades of sand contained much glauconite. Quite 95 per cent of the 

 Foraminifera was made up of various species of Globigerina and Globorotalia, Globigerina inflata 

 being dominant. The residue yielded a very long list of species, including many Lagetiae and several 

 interesting rarities. 



WS 469. TS 646. Fig. I, E I. 



ID. xi. 29. 56° 42' S, 57° 00' W. Sounding, 3959 m. 



About 30 cc. of pale brown mud yielded a residue of about 10 cc. of fine sand, with some larger 

 grains or pebbles, Globigerinae (30 per cent of all), many other Foraminifera and Radiolaria. The 

 pebbles were smothered with Tolypammina vagans and a few Placopsilina confusa. Six species of 

 Globigerina were all common or abundant, G. inflata being dominant. Some large rough specimens 

 of Psammosphaera fusca, and a long list of other species, many very interesting and some new were 

 obtained. 



WS 471. TS 647. Fig. I, E I. 



12. xi. 29. 58° 53' S, 57° 54' W. Sounding, 3762 m. 



A small quantity of light brown mud, yielding a residue of fine sand, diatoms, Radiolaria and 

 some Foraminifera, nearly all arenaceous. The only common species were Psammosphaera fusca and 

 Haplophragmoides subglobosus. Among the rarer forms were Spiroplectammina siibcylindrica, S. 

 filiformis, Reophax longiscatiformis, Nodellum membranaceum and Proteonina tubulata.
