Station 132, 28th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 18° 0' S. ; long. 142° 29' W. ; depth, 1620 fathoms. 

 GLOBIGERINA OOZE: cream colored, grannlar, incoherent; appears to 

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

 Lamellibranchs, otoliths, Ostracodes, Tunicate spicules, coccoliths, rhabdo- 

 liths ; small particles of obsidian, felspar, and magnetite. 



Station 133, 28th October, 1899. 

 Lat. 18° 5' S. ; long. 142° 23' W. ; depth, 742 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE or CORAL SAND: very little material, from which 

 it is impossible to state the type of deposit with certainty ; cream colored 

 with black grains (manganese), granular, quite incoherent ; appears to have 

 been washed ; no fine amorphous clayey matter ; consists of pelagic and 

 bottom-living' Foraminifera, Pteropods, Heteropods, Echinoid spines, otoliths, 

 Ostracodes, Coral fragments coated with manganese ; particles of obsidian 

 and magnetite, mostly angular, mean diameter 0.1 mm. 



From this station the following specimens were taken by the trawl : — 



(1) Small branch of tree, about two inches long, rotten, and impreg- 

 nated with manganese ; small strips of bark, one showing leaf seat ; small 

 piece of charred wood. 



(2) Piece of anthracite, angular, clean, showing conchoidal fracture in 

 places, glistening, 2|- by 2 by 1 inches. 



(3) Piece of coral-rock, showing structure of Coral clearly, 2 by 1^ by 

 1 inches, perfectly blackened inside and outside with manganese. 



(4) Flat oblong rounded piece of coral-rock or calcareous material, 

 showing no structure of Coral, If by |^ inches, blackened by manganese 

 and impregnated with it ; full of vesicular cavities containing very fresh 

 and perfectly white pelagic Foraminifera, Pteropods, and Heteropods. 



(5) Flat rounded piece of calcareous material, same as above, | by 

 } inches. 



(6) Flat oblong angular piece of calcareous material, same as above, 

 1 by I by ^ inches. 



(7) Rounded piece of soft white chalky calcareous rock, J by | inches, 

 consisting of coccoliths, rhabdoliths, and fine amorphous calcareous matter. 



(8) Three angular furnace cinders, the largest being 3 by 1 by ^ 

 inches.
