52 "TERRA NOVA" EXPEDITION. 



No. 26. .station 194. [Label :- Feb. 22, 1911, 09° 43' S., 163° 24' E., off 

 Gates Laud, 180-200 fms.] 



Material. — A small tube of selected Foraniiuifera aud considerable quantity 

 of zoophytes, Polyzoa and sandy debris in formalin, also similar material with 

 mud in spirit. Very difficult to clean, the sieves retaining a felted mass of sponge 

 and Polyzoan debris which required to be broken up with a brush. Foraniiuifera 

 plentiful, but in poor condition, mauy sessile forms, notably Truncatulina refulgens, 

 abundant on the Polyzoa. Wagnerella borcalis (Heliozoa) was oliserved. Notable 

 species : — Miliolina bucculenta, MilioUiia oblonya, var. arenacea, Articuliiia ft(ii(dis' 

 Cornuspira selseyensis, Astrorhiza limicola, Dendronina limosa, var. Jmmilis, 

 Iridia diaplmna. Sorosphaera confum. Crithionina piswm, C. f/ramim, Reophax 

 distuHS, Haplophnujmiimi crassimargu, H. canariense, var. variabilis, H. nammi, 

 Ammodiscus shoneanus, Bidimina chapmani, Ehrenberyina hystrix, var. (jlabra. 

 Residues contained angular minerals, sponge-spicules, diatoms, immature Forani- 

 iuifera, chieflv Arenacea. 



No. 27. Near Station 194. Sounding A. [Label :— Feb. 22, 1911, 69° 

 4' S.. 163° 24' E.. 178 fms.] 



Material. — 12 c.c. grey-brown mud, in spirit, easily cleaned. Sieves contained 

 mineral grains of all sizes, abundant Foraniiuifera, sponge-spicules, diatoms. 

 Notable species : — Miliolina oblonga, var. arenacea, Haplophragmiiun glomeratum , 

 Buliniina subteres, B. chapmani, Cassidulina nitidula, F rondicularia pygmaea, Marginu- 

 lina glabra. Residues consisted of fine minerals, immature Foraniiuifera, diatoms, 

 .sponge-spicules and abundant amorphous particles (? volcanic ash). 



No. 28. Near Station 194. Sounding B. [Label :— Feb. 22, 1911, 69° 14' 

 5" S., 164° 24' 2" E., 1,177 fms.] 



Material. — 12 c.c. tenacious chocolate clay, in spirit, dried light grey and 

 broke down into flakes like a true clay. Dried again it broke down into a fine 

 mud principally diatomaceous, fine minerals, sponge-spicules. Foraniiuifera rare, 

 almost entirely Arenacea. Notable species : — Reophax difflugiformis, R. distans, 

 Haplopkragmium foliaceum, Hormosina globulijera, Ammodiscus charoides, Cyclam- 

 mina pusilla. Residues contained fine minerals, abundant sponge-spicules, diatoms, 

 and some Radiolaria. 



No. 29. Near Station 194. Sounding C. [Label :— Feb. 23, 1911, 69° 29' 

 5" S., 162° 49' 4" E., 951 fms.] 



Material. — 12 c.c. grey-browu mud, in spirit. Sieves contained dark mineral 

 gi-ains, both rounded and angular, a few Foraniiuifera, and Radiolaria, abundant 

 sponge-spicules and diatoms. Notable species : — Bathgsiphon filiformis, Hyj)eram- 

 mina elongata, var. laevigata, Placopsilina cenomana, Haplophragmium globigeriniforme, 

 Ammodiscus charoides, Cyclammina orbicularis, Spiroplecta annectens. Residues, 

 angular minerals, abundant sponge-spicules, diatoms.
