VOLCANIC MUD: gritty, fine-grained, incoherent; has the appearance of 
having been washed ; contains pelagic and bottom-living Foraminifera, Echi- 
noid spines, Polyzoa, small Mollusc shells, Pteropods, Heteropods; minerals 
abundant, angular, mean diameter 0.1 mm., augite, palagonitic matter, 
olivine, plagioclase, chloritic mineral, biotite, much magnetite.

RED CLAY: very little material, incoherent, apparently washed, consist- 
ing of angular mineral particles, mean diameter 0.1 mm., felspar, obsidian, 
pumice, magnetite, and manganese, small rock particles about 1mm. in 
diameter, Radiolaria, Fish teeth. 
Station 184, 26th November, 1899. 
Lat. 20° 15’8. ; long. 172° 0’ W.; depth, 3141 fathoms. 
RED CLAY: almost black in color, slightly coherent; may have been 
washed, as the percentage of minerals is quite 70 per cent of the whole 
sample; consists of angular mineral particles, mean diameter 0.15 mm., 
olivine, augite, volcanic glass, magnetite, palagonite, plagioclase, cosmic 
spherules.

contains about 40 per cent of angular mineral particles, mean diameter 
0.2 mm., one piece of pumice | cm. in diameter, brown volcanic glass abund- 
ant, augite, plagioclase, magnetite ; Radiolaria, and Sponge spicules,
