FORAMINIFERA— HERON-ALLEN AND EAHLAND. 49 



No. 12.— Near Station 241. [Label :— March 29, 1912, 50° 11' 8., 109° 08' K., 

 301 fins.] 



Material. — A sounding, in spirit, 13 cc. dirty-white ooze, Glohigerina and 

 other Foraminifera in a dense calcareous mud. Notable species : — BilocuUna 

 depressa, var. serrata, Bidimina echinata. Residues contained abundant innnature 

 Globigerina, other Foraminifera, and coccoliths, many fine mineral particles, a 

 few sponge-spicules. 



No. 13.— Very near Station 253. [Label :— Dec. 21, 1912, 54° 37' 9" S., 

 176° 24' 2" W., 3,003 fms.] 



Material. — Three soundings, in formalin, about 27 c.c. pale brown ooze of 

 mixed radiolarian and diatom origin. Dried buff colour. Sieves contained 

 Radiolaria, some large, sand-grains both rounded and angular, a few arenaceous 

 Foraminifera, but hardly any calcareous organisms. Notable species ; — Spiroloculina 

 tenuis, Thurammina papillafa, var. castanea and var. albicans, HaplopJirag»iium 

 anceps, H. spliaeroidinifonne. Residues largely diatom and radiolarian debris, angular 

 minerals, some sponge-spicules. 



No. 14.— Near Station 215. [Label :— Dec. 26. 1911, 63° 59' S.. 174° 13' W., 

 1,801 fms.] 



Material. — A sounding, in formalin. 1 o c.c. of creamy yellow diatom ooze. 

 The sieves contained only a few Glohigerina and other Foraminifera in a felted 

 mass of Radiolaria and diatoms. The only notable species was Lagena plumigera. 

 Residues : — Radiolaria and diatoms in all stages of comminution.

No. 15.— Very near Station 260. [Label :— 62° 20' 4" S., 167° 45' W., 

 1,627 fms.] 



Material. — A sounding, in formalin, 3 c.c. light buff diatom ooze, drying 

 white. Sieves contained a few Glohigerina and oHier Foraminifera, Radiolaria, 

 diatoms, a few Hexactinellid spicules and angular minerals. Notable species : — 

 Miliolina oblonga and Reophax distans. Residues consisted of diatoms, Radio- 

 laria and minute Globigerina, but practically no mineral particles. 



No. 16.— Very near Station 262. [Label :— Dec. 26. 1912, 64° 33' 4" S., 

 166° 30' W., 1,600 fms.] 



Material. — Three soundings, in formalin, estimated 36 c.c. pale brown ooze, 

 drying cream colour, consisting of Globigerina and abundant other Foraminifera, 

 Radiolaria, minerals (some rounded) in a diatomaceous mud. Notable species : — 

 Cyclammina orbicularis, Seabroohia earlandi, Lagena exsculpta, L. aspera, L. hispida, 

 L. plumigera, Polymorphina longicollis, Sagrina virgula. Residues, a fine mud, 

 largely diatomaceous, some Radiolaria, and immature Foraminifera, fine angidar 

 minerals.
