392 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON DEEP-SEA FORAMINIFERA 



Station 29.— July 14th, 1896. Lat. 8° 35' 1" S., long. 179° 1' 8" E. 

 Depth, 475 fathoms. "Coral Sand^' (sample in tallow). Foraminifera 

 represented by Spirillina ohconica, Pulrinulina, and Amphisteffina. Alcyo- 

 narian spicules abundant. 



Station 31.— July 14th, 1896. Lat. 8° 37' 9" S., long. 179° 9' 3" E. 

 Depth, 1158 fathoms. Volcanic Sand with Foraminifera. The latter chiefly 

 comprise the pelagic genus Glohigerina ; Ampliistegina is also present. 



Station 45.— July 15th, 1896. Lat. 8° 39' 0" S., long. 179° 16' 6" B. 

 Depth, 2107 fathoms. Grlobigerina Ooze. Dry, white, almost chalky in 

 appearance ; wet, pale yellowish brown ; coherent. Ostracoda very rare, 

 the genera Cytliere and Kritlie present. Other organic remains are frag- 

 ments of the mesh of Siliceous Sponges and Echinoid spines. The usual 

 jieLigic Foraminifera are abundant : chiefly Glohigerina conglohatM, G. sacculi- 

 fera, G. cequilateralis, G. siihcretacea, Pidlenia ohliquiloculata, Pulvinulhia 

 meuardii, and P. tumida. Other noteworthy species are Lagena alveolata, 

 JBidimina huchiana, CassiduUna parkeriana, Ehreribergiaa serrata, and Trun- 

 I'atulina culter. 



Station 48.— July 16th, 1896. Lat. 8° 35' 5" S., long. 179° 17' 5" E. 

 Depth, 2298 fathoms. Glohigerina Ooze. Dry, whitish or chalky : wet, 

 pale yellowish brown; incoherent. Ostracoda very rare, represented by only 

 one genus, Kritlie. This sample is very I'ich in species of the Foraminifera, 

 the more interesting being Spirolocidina tenuis, Sigmoilina schhunbergeri, 

 Tritaxia lepida, Bidimina 7'ostrata, Bolivhia reticulata, Virgulina teaturata, 

 Ehrenhergina serrata, J.agena formosa, L. quadrata, L. quinquelatera, 

 L. stapJiyllearia, L. spmnosa, Rhahdogonium minutum, Polymorphina seguen- 

 zana, and Patellina corrugata. The most abundant species are Glohigerina 

 sacculifera, G. digitata^ Spluero'idina dehiscens, Pidlenia ohliquiloeulata, Trun- 

 catulina pygmcea, Pnlvimdina menardii, and P. truncatidinoides. 



Station 55.— July 16th, 1896. Lat. 8° 29' 37" S., long. 179° 13' 0" E. 

 Depth, 507 fathoms. '^ Coral Sand." The remains of Halimeda are abun- 

 dant. Other organisms are Corals, Pelecypods, Gasteropods^ and Ostracodes, 

 the latter comprising 3 spp. of Bairdia. The Foraminifera form a small but 

 interesting series, showing an admixture of pelagic with bottom-living 

 moderately shallow-water species, amongst which latter kind may be noticed : 

 Miliolina alveoliniformis, Sjnrillina decorata var. unilatera, Tinoporus bacu- 

 latus, Polytrema miniaceiim, Heterostegina depressa, Cyclodypeus carpenter!, 

 and Ampldstegina lessoni. 



Station 60.— July 10th, 1896. Lat. 8° 25' 0" S., long. 179° 5' 0" E. 

 Depth, 451 fathoms. " Coral Sand." This material consists largely of coral 

 rock and debris, with Halimeda, Corals, Pteropods {Styliola), and Bivalves 

 [Area). The Foraminifera are very rare, there being only two genera 

 present, P ulvimdina and Amphistegina.
