FORAMINIFERA— HERON-ALLEN AND EARLAND. 55 



Webbrua clavata (1). all starved specimens. Residues consisted of extremely fine 

 mineral particles, with a few diatoms and sponge-spicules. 



No. 40.— Station 291. [Label :— Jan. 14, 1913, 72° 40' 9" S., 172" 37' 5" W., 

 1,917 fms.] 



Material. — Soundings, 28 e.c. of light bro\vn-grey nuid. in formalin, dried 

 nearly white and difficult to wash. Sieves retained only 1-25 c.c. of angular 

 minerals, sponge-spicules, diatoms and Radiolaria with a few Foraminifera. Notable 

 species : — Reoplmx ampullacea, B. difflugifonnis, Thurammina pajnUata, Trochammina 

 pauciloculata, A^nmodiscus shoneanus. Residues, almost entirely diatomaceous 

 with some Radiolaria and fine minerals. 



No. 41.— Near Station 188. Sounding A. [Label :— Jan. 2, 1911, 75° 9' 7" 

 S.. 173° 39' 8" E., 251 fms.] 



Material. — 10 '5 c.c. light olive brown mud, in formalin, dried greenish white. 

 Sieves contained angular minerals, sponge-spicules, Radiolaria, abundant diatoms, 

 but very few Foraminifera. Notable species : — 3Iiliolina oblonga, var. arenacea, 

 Psammosphaera rustica, Reophax spiculifera, R. longiscatiformis, BoUvina punctata, 

 var. arenacea. Residues consisted almost entirely of diatoms and Radiolaria, 

 with some sponge-spicules and mmerals. 



No. 42. Near Station 188. Somiding B. [Label :— Jan. 2, 1911, 74° 24' 

 7" S., 174° 1' 3" E., 313 fms.] 



Material. — 12 c.c. of pale grev brown mud with darker grains, in formalin. 

 Very tenacious and refractory, splitting up in water into flocculent layers as 

 though stratified. Dried again it broke down in soda into a clay-lilce mud. 

 Sieves contained angular minerals, some large, Radiolaria, a few sponge-spicules 

 and diatoms, and very few Foraminifera. Notable species : — Haplopliragmium 

 anceps, Ammodiscus charoides, Cyclammina pusilla, Trochammina rotaliformis, 

 Clavidina communis. Residues consisted of minerals, sponge-spicules, diatoms 

 and minute irregular pellets of clay in all stages of disintegration into their 

 constituents, a debris of fine mineral, Radiolarian and diatom-fragments. 



No. 43.— Near Station 221. [Label :— Jan. 8, 1912, 75° 25' S., 165° 11' E., 

 400 fms.] 



Material. — A sounding, 10 '5 c.c. of slate-brown mud with dark mineral 

 grains, in formalin, dried very light grey. Sieves contained angular minerals, 

 many sponge-spicules and Radiolaria, abundant diatoms, but very few Foram- 

 inifera. Notable species : — Miliolina oblonga, var. arenacea, Haplophragmium 

 scitulum. H. ancejys. Residues consisted of angular minerals, sponge-spicules, and 

 abundant diatoms. 



No. 44.— Station 222. [Label :— Jan. 10, 1912, 76° 02' 7" S., 165° 55' 2" E., 

 303 fms.]
