MUEEAY— DEPOSIT-SAMPLES. 391 



No. 3. July 13, 1905. 

 Lat. 7° 08' 55" S., Long. 71° 35' 5" E., east of Pitt Bank ; depth, 731 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : From this station there is a little fine-grained material, probably indicating 

 a deposit of Globigerina Ooze, since it consists principally of pelagic Foraminifera, with a few 

 bottom-living forms, Pteropod fragments, Ecliinold spines, Tunicate spicules, Coccoliths and 

 a few Rliabdolitlis ; Sponge spicules, Kadiolaria, and Diatoms. 



No. 4. July 26, 1905. 

 Lat. 7° 39' 30" S., Long. 71° 7' 30" E., 20' east of Centurion's Bank ; depth, 911 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : The material consists principally of pelagic Poraminifera, with a few bottom- 

 living forms. Fish otoliths, Echinoid spines, and fragments of siliceous Sponges, indicating 

 that the deposit at this station is probably Globigerina Ooze. 



No. 5. August 1, 1905. 

 Lat. 13° 46' S., Long. 63° 13' E. ; depth, 21SS fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : The bottle with the material from this station contained only three or four 

 small pelagic Foraminifera and one or two particles of manganese. The deposit is probably 

 Globigerina Ooze. 



No. 6. August 2, 1905. 

 Lat. 16° 42' S., Long. 61° 6' E. ; depth, 1685 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : The material from this station, of which there is very little, consists of pelagic 

 Foraminifera, many of the shells being discoloured by manganese, and probably indicates that 

 the deposit is Globigerina Ooze. 



No. 7. Septemher 1, 1905. 

 Lat. 15° 49' S., Long. 59° ll'S E. ; depth, 1507 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : Consisting of pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Ostracodes, Pteropod 

 fragments, Echinoid spines, Tunicate spicules, and Coccoliths ; Radiolaria, Sponge spicules, 

 and Diatoms ; a trace of minerals and a small quantity of fine amorphous clayey matter. 



No. 8. September 12, 1905. 

 Lat. 6° 9' 36" S., Long. 56° 32' 0" E., midway between Coetivy and Mahe Islands, 



Seychelles ; depth, 1195 fathoms. 



GLOBIGERINA OOZE : From this station there is very little material, consisting of a few pelasic 

 and bottom-living P^oraminifera and their fragments, Pteropod fragments, Echinoid spines, 

 Ostracodes, one large Fish otolith overgrown with JFebbina, Tunicate spicules, small calcareous 

 horseshoe-shaped bodies, Coccoliths, and Rhabdolitlis ; Sponge spicules, Radiolaria, and Diatoms. 

 The material seems to indicate that the deposit is Globigerina Ooze.
