 granular and incoherent, dirty brown in color, consisting of broken pelagic 

 Foraminifera, bottom-living Foraminifera, arenaceous Foraminifera, cocco- 

 liths, rhabdoliths ; Sponge spicules ; with volcanic mineral particles, angular, 

 mean diameter 0.1 mm., felspar, obsidian, much magnetite, and plagioclase.

 having been washed, cream colored, quite incoherent, consisting of pelagic 

 and bottom-living Foraminifera, Pteropods, Pol3'zoa, Echinoid spines, frag- 

 ments of Mollusc shells, including one or two small Gasteropod shells 

 (like Pleurotoma), coccoliths, rhabdoliths ; arenaceous Foraminifera, Sponge 

 spicules; plagioclase, volcanic glass, and small phillipsite crystals, one or 

 two cosmic spherules.

 Gasteropods (like Pleurotoma), Ostracodes ; small mineral fragments, the 

 largest about 2 mm. in diameter, containing felspar.
