 Depth, 1215 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, whitish or cream-colour ; 

 wet, pale yellowish brown ; coherent. An abundant Ostracodal fauna ; 

 genera present : — Aglaia, Pontocypris, Argillcecia (with the new s'p. gracilior), 

 Bytliocypns (with the new sp. heterodoxa), Bairdia, Cythere (with the new

 Loxoconclia, Cytlierura (with new sp. tenuicosta), Bythocythere (with new sp.

The Foraminif era are represented by a fair number of deep-water miliolids,. 

 8 spp. of Lagena, and other interesting forms, as Reophax adunca and 

 Btdimii^a subteres. The pelagic Foraminifera form the greater bulk of the 

 material, chief among which are Orlmlina universa, Glohigerina conglohata,. 

 G. saccuUfera, G. suhcretacea, G. cequilateralis, G. digitata, G. hidloides, 

 G. rubra, and Pulvimdina menardii.

 reddish brown ; coherent. Ostracoda not common ; referable to Cythere nnd 

 Krithe. Also small Fish-teeth. 



Pelagic Foraminifera comprise Orhidina universa, Glohigerina conglohata, 

 G. saccuUfera, G. rubra, G. hulloides, G. suhcretacea, Sphceroidina dehiscens, 

 Pidlenia ohliqinlocxdata, Pulvinulina menardii, P. t2imida, and P. patagonica. 

 Of especial interest are Hyperammina ramosa and H. elongata, Polymorphina
