 ()()' 1" S., 161' 09' 2" E. L668 fms.] 



Material. — 12 c.c. pale chocolate mud with dark grains, in formalin, dried 

 grey and washed easily. Sieves contained dark minerals, abmidant Radiolaria 

 and diatoms and a few Foraminifera. Notable species : — Reophax difflugiformis, 

 R. distans, Trochammina rohertsoni, T. pauciloculata. Residues consisted of 

 diatoms, Radiolaria and fine minerals.

 2,216 fms.] 



Material. — A sounding, 13 '5 c.c. pale brown ooze, in formalin, dried cream 

 colour, tenacious and difficult to clean. Sieves contained a pebble, large angular 

 minerals, clay-pellets, diatoms, Glohigerina and other Foraminifera. Notable 

 species : — Biloculina depressa, var. murrliyna, Spirolocidina tenuis, very varied 

 Lagenae, Nodosaria calomorpha, X. mucronata, N. raphanistrum, Discorhina eliasteri. 

 Residues consisted of minute minerals, diatoms, immature Glohigerina. 



No. 37.— Near Station 218, Cape Adare {]). [Label :— Near 218 (?), 65° 30' 

 6" S., 176° 27' 7" AV., 1,120 fms.] 



Material. — A soundmg, 2 c.c. pale fawn mud, in formalin. Sieves contained a 

 felted mass of Radiolaria and diatoms, a few angular sand-grains and Foraminifera, 

 but none of note. Residues consisted of diatoms and Radiolaria. 



No. 38.— Station 220. [Label :— Jan. 3, 1912, Off Cape Adare, mouth of 

 Robertson's Bay, 45-50 fms.] 



Material. — Organic debris, principally Hydxozoan fragments mixed with l:)lack 

 pebbles and sand, difficult to clean. Sieves contained a felted mass of Hydrozoan 

 debris, diatoms [T rice rat ium), sponge-spicules and basaltic sand with abundant 

 spherical bodies (? Zeolites), a few Foraminifera. Notable species : — Crithionina 

 pisum, C. rugosa, var. hispida, Bulimina chapmani, Cassiduliim parkeriana, Ehrenhergina 

 hystrix, var. glabra, Discorhina chasteri. The Heliozoan M-agnerella horealis was also 

 noted. Residues consisted of diatoms, sponge-spicules, angular minerals and 

 a few immature Foraminifera. 



No. 39.— Station 289. [Label : Jan. 12. 1913, 72° S., 168° 17' 5" AV., 

 2,322 fms.] 



Material. — A sounding 4-5 c.c. light brown plastic mud, dried whitey-grey, 

 very refractory. Sieves contained only 0.3 c.c. grey residue of pellets and flakes 

 of clay, and a few mineral grains, and very few Radiolaria. The only Foram- 

 inifera recorded were Cyclammina pusilla (3), Hapkphragminm latidorsatum (1),
