392 PEECT SLADEN TEUST EXPEDITION. 



ITo. 9. September 21, 1905. 

 Lat. 6° 35'-4 S., Long. 56° 51'-S E. ; depth, 1615 fathoms. 



GLOBIGEEINA OOZE : Greyish white, consisting of pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera^ Echinoid 

 spines, Coccoliths, and a few Rhabdoliths ; Radiolaria and Sponge spicules ; and a small 

 quantity of fine amorphous clayey matter. No minerals were observed. The material, of 

 which there is very little, may have been subjected to a certain amount of washing. 



No. 10. September 27, 1905. 

 Lat. 10° 27'-5 S., Long. 51° 17' E. ; depth, 1938 fathoms. 



GLOBIGEEINA OOZE : The material is incoherent, and has apparently been washed. It consists 

 principally of pelagic Foraminifera with a few bottom-living forms, Pteropod fragments, 

 Echinoid spines. Fish otoliths, and Coccoliths; Sponge spicules, and one or two small crystalline 

 mineral particles. 



No. 11. September 27, 1905. 

 Lat. 10° 39' S., Long. 50° 52' E. ; depth, 1858 fathoms. 



GLOBIGEEINA OOZE : A very little fine-grained material, consisting of pelagic Foraminifera and 

 their fragments, a few Coccoliths and Rhabdoliths ; Sponge spicules, Radiolaria, Diatoms ; 

 and one or two small volcanic mineral particles. 



No. 12. November 11, 1905. 

 lat. 7° 15'-0 S., Long. 61° 28'-5 E. ; depth, 2192 fathoms. 



GLOBIGEEINA OOZE : A very little fine-grained material was received from this station, consisting 

 of very small pelagic Foraminifera and fragments, Coccoliths, Rhabdoliths, small horseshoe- 

 shaped calcareous bodies ; Sponge spicules, Radiolaria, and Diatoms ; indicating that the deposit 

 is probably Globigerina Ooze. 



No. 13. June 28, 1905. 

 Lat. 5° 10' 0" S., Long. 71° 11' 50" E., 3 miles west of Peres ; depth, 692 fathoms. 



GLOBIGEEINA OOZE or COEAL MUD : The material is incoherent, and may not represent the 

 deposit at tlie bottom ; it contains pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Pteropods, 

 Heteropods, Coral fragments, Echinoid spines, Ostracodes, small Mollusc shells, Tunicate 

 spicules, Coccoliths, and Rhabdoliths ; Sponge spicules, Radiolaria, and Diatoms ; one or two 

 very small crystalline mineral particles ; and a small quantity of fine amorphous clayey matter. 



No. 14. June 21, 1905. 

 Lat. 5°16' 40" S., Long. 72° 23' 50" E., 9 miles E.N.E. of Salomon; depth, 658 fathoms. 



COEAL MUD : incoherent, and probably washed ; it contains pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, 

 Coral fragments, Mollusc fragments, Pteropods, Heteropods, Alcyonarian s[iicules, Echinoid 

 spines. Fish otoliths, Herjnda tubes, Polyzoa, Tunicate spicules, Coccoliths, and minute 

 calcareous bodies (horseshoe-shaped) ; Sponge spicules, Radiolaria, and Diatoms ; and one or 

 two small particles of pumice.
