Lat. 15° 16' S. ; long. 148° 46' W. ; depth, 1762 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : incoherent, cream colored, with slight tinge of 



pink ; partly washed ; containing pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, 



coccoliths, rhabdoliths, Tunicate spicules. 



Station 64, 26th September, 1899. 

 Lat. 15° 51' S. ; long. 148° 15' W. ; depth, 581 fathoms. 



CORAL SAND : white, gritty, quite incoherent ; may have been washed ; 

 consisting of broken Corals, Polyzoa, Echinoid spines, Pteropods, Hetero- 

 pods, pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Alcyonarian spicules, otoliths, 

 small Gasteropods (Pleurotoma) ; obsidian fragment 1 mm. in diameter. 



Station 65, 26th September, 1899. 

 Lat. 15° 57.3' S. ; long. 148° 18.8' W. ; depth, 1363 fathoms. 



CORAL SAND or GLOBIGERINA OOZE : very small quantity of ma- 

 terial, which has the appearance of having been washed; it is impossible to 

 state with certainty the type of the deposit in situ. The sample is quite 

 incoherent, gritty, and contains pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, 

 fragments of Pteropods and Corals ; grains and small concretions of man- 

 ganese, the largest 2 mm. in diameter, small particles of obsidian. 



Station 66, 26th September, 1899. 

 Lat. 16° 10' S. ; long. 148° 26' W. ; depth, 2238 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE or RED CLAY : very little material ; appears to 

 have been washed ; granular, incoherent, and of a brownish gray color ; 

 consisting of broken pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Echinoid spines, 

 Pteropod fragments, coccoliths, rhabdoliths ; Sponge spicules ; manganese 

 grains and concretions. 



Station 71, 27th September, 1899. 

 Lat. 17° 25.3' S. ; long. 149° 26' W. ; depth, 775 fathoms. 



VOLCANIC MUD : grayish-black, clayey, gritty to the touch ; appears to 

 have been partly washed ; contains about 20 per cent calcium carbonate, 

 consisting of pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Pteropods, Heteropods 

 {Atlanta), otoliths, Ostracodes, small Lamellibranchs and Gasteropods {Plcu- 

 ), coccoliths and rhabdoliths, Tunicate spicules ; one or two arenaceous
