Ostracodes, Alcyonarian spicules, otoliths, pelagic and bottom-living Fora- 

 minifera, Pteropods, Heteropods, Tunicate spicules, coccoliths, rhabdoliths; 

 Sponge spicules. 



Station 89, 14th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 16° 3.5' S. ; long. 145° 43' W. ; depth, 599 fathoms. 



PTEROPOD OOZE : cream colored, granular, quite incoherent ; containing 

 Pteropods, Heteropods, pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Echinoid 

 fragments and spines, Alcyonarian spicules, otoliths, Ostracodes, Serpula, 

 small Lamellibranchs and Gasteropods, Mollusc-shell and Coral fragments, 

 Tunicate spicules, coccoliths, rhabdoliths ; and fragments of obsidian. 



Station 90, 14th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 16° 2' S. ; long. 145° 43.5' W. ; depth, 666 fathoms. 



PTEROPOD OOZE : cream colored, granular, quite incoherent ; appears to 

 have been washed ; consists of Pteropods, Heteropods, pelagic and bottom- 

 living Foraminifera, Mollusc-shell fragments with small Lamellibranchs 

 and Gasteropods, Coral fragments (some coated with manganese), Polyzoa, 

 Echinoid spines, Alcyonarian spicules, otoliths, Ostracodes, coccoliths, rhab- 

 doliths. Tunicate spicules. 



Station 91, 14th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 16° 38' S. ; long. 145° 31' W. ; depth, 602 fathoms. 



PTEROPOD OOZE : similar in composition to Station 90, but the remains 

 of the benthonic organisms appear to make up a larger proportion of the 

 deposit. 



Station 92, 14th October, 1899. 



Lat. 16° 44' S. ; long. 145° 35' W. ; depth, 839 fathoms. 



Aggregation (2 by 2 by 1 cm.) of calcareous deposit (GLOBIGERINA 



OOZE) coated with manganese. The usual species of pelagic Foraminifera, 



coccoliths, and rhabdoliths may be observed on rubbing down a little of the 



internal portion. 



Station 93, 14th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 16° 51' S. ; long. 145° 42' W. ; depth, 1300 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : cream colored, granular, quite incoherent ; appears 

 to have been washed; contains pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera,
