WS 490. TS 702. Fig. II, E II. 



22. xi. 29. 63° 24' 30" S, 62° 35' 30" W. Sounding, 262 m. 



Less than i cc. of dark grey sand, with grains of varying sizes, yielded fifteen species of Fora- 

 minifera, generally represented by one or at most two specimens. The only exception was Uvigerina 

 angulosa, which was evidently dominant in the deposit as seven specimens were recorded. All the 

 species were normal local forms. 



WS493. TS691. Fig. II, F I. 



23. xi. 29. 62° 51' S, 60° 34' W. Sounding, 220 m. 



About 2 cc. of black volcanic sand. Foraminifera extremely rare and pauperate, even the com- 

 mon local species represented at most by a few specimens. The ubiquitous genus Miliammina was 

 absent. Nothing of outstanding importance. 



WS 494 A. TS 696. Fig. II, F II. 



28. xi. 29. 63° 15' S, 61° 05' W. Sounding, 1035 m. 



About 80 cc. of pale brown mud giving a residue of scoriae and pebbles, with very few organic 

 remains. Foraminifera few in number but varied and interesting. Tolypammina vagans, which was 

 frequent on the pebbles, and Recurvoides contortiis were the only common species. Among rarer 

 species were Placopsilinella aurantiaca, Thiirammina corrugata, T. cariosa and TurrileUeUa shoneana. 



WS 494 B. TS 699. Fig. II, F II. 



28. xi. 29. 63° 37' 30" S, 61° 16' W. Sounding, 505 m. 



About 7 cc. of dark sandy mud giving a residue of dark sand and pebbles. Very few Foraminifera, 

 only Miliammina arenacea occurring with any frequency. The only species calling for special notice 

 was Vanhoeffenella oculns. 



WS 495. TS 734. Fig. I, C III. 



22. xii. 29. 67° 47' S, 73° 51' W. Sounding, 2582 m. 



A small quantity of dark grey mud with very little residue, sand grains, Radiolaria, diatoms and 

 Foraminifera. The only species occurring in any abundance were Psammosphaera fusca and Haplo- 

 phragmoides siibglobosus. Cyclammina orbicularis and C. pusilla were frequent, as also were several 

 other species of Haphphragmoides and Clavulina communis. Among the rarer forms were Reophax 

 communis and Trochawmitia globulosa. 



WS 496. TS 732. Fig. II, A VI. 



30. xii. 29. 67° 14' S, 70° 12' W. Sounding, 631 m. 



A small quantity of tenacious grey ooze was washed twice and gave a residue principally of 

 diatoms, a few sand grains of varying sizes, many Radiolaria and a few Foraminifera, pauperate but 

 varied. Miliammina spp., Virgulina bradyi and Globigerina pachyderma alone were common, most 

 others rare or very rare. A single specimen of Robertina arctica was the only outstanding record. 



WS497. TS731. Fig. II, AVI. 



1. i. 30. 67° 05' S, 70° 40' W. Sounding, 534 m. 



A small quantity of refractory grey mud was washed twice and gave a residue, principally 

 diatoms with a few sand grains and Foraminifera. These were mostly very small and pauperate, but 

 varied. Miliammina lata, M. arenacea, Reophax scorpiurus, Virgulina bradyi and Globigerina pachy- 

 derma were all common ; Reophax spicidifer was frequent ; most other species rare or very rare. Among 

 them were Hyperammina friabilis, Cystammina argentea and Lagena hispida. 



WS 498. TS 722. Fig. II, B V. 



2. i. 30. 66° 21' S, 69° 01' W. Sounding, 398 m. 



A very small quantity of muddy sand gave a residue of small pebbles and sand grains. Fora- 

 minifera very scanty but varied. Globigerina pachyderma, Bulimina aculeata, and Virgulina bradyi 

 were the only species occurring with any frequency ; about twenty other species represented by one 

 or two specimens only, none of particular interest.
