AND OSTEACODA COLLECTED ROUND FUNAEUTL ' 393 



Station 68.— July 7th, 1896. Lat. 8° 22' 0" S., long. 179° 56' "l" E. 

 Depth, 1143 fathoms. Foraminiferal Sand. Ostracoda not common, repre- 

 sented by Kritlie and Loxoconclia. The Foraminifera are mainly pelagic, as 

 Glohigerina, Pullenia, Ca7ideina, and Pulvimilina. 



Station 78.— July 20th, 1896. Lat. 8° 21' 0" S., long. 179° 2' 0'' E. 

 Depth, 1570 fathoms. '' Coral Sand.'"" This sample contains a curious 

 admixture of comparatively shallow-water Foraminifera with a good series 

 of pelagic forms. There is strong reason for supposing that we have here an 

 accidental meeting of two samples, one of quite shallow-water habitat, the 

 other normally deep, since Tinoporus haculatus and OrbitolUes comjylanata 

 are limited to soundings of 155 and 450 fathoms respectively, but usually 

 occur at much less depths. 



Station 83.— July 21st, 1896. Lat. 8° 29' 5" S., long. 179° 14' 9" E. 

 Depth, 1340 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Foraminifera of tlie pelagic 

 types, together with a few examples of Sagraina raphanns and Amphistegina 

 lessoni. Coral fragments occur in this sample. 



Station 84.— July 21st, 1896. Lat. 8° 29' 4" S., long. 179° 13' 5" E. 

 Depth, 913 fathoms. ? Globigerina Ooze. A single example of Globigerina 

 conglobata occurred in this material. 



Station 86.— July 21st, 1896. Lat. 8° 31' 8" S., long. 179° 13' 6" E. 

 Depth, 513 fathoms. Volcanic Sand with Foraminifera. Some pelagic 

 Foraminifera, with Amphistegina lessoni. 



Station 88.— July 21st, 1896. Lat. 8° 31' 1" S., long. 179° 13' 6" E. 

 Depth, 731 fathoms. Volcanic Sand with Foraminifera. The latter are all 

 })elagic forms. Pumice occurs in this sample. 



Station 90.— July 15th, 1896. Lat. 8° 34' 5" S., long. 179° 57' 20" E. 

 Depth, 590 fathoms. Halimeda Sand. Contains Globigerina digitata and 

 Sphceroidina deliiscens. Abundant Halimeda fragments and remains of 

 Echinoids. 



Station 96.— July 22nd, 1896. Lat. 8° 26' 0" S., long. 179° 15' 0" E. 

 Depth, 1245 fathoms. " Coral Sand^' with volcanic particles and Foramini- 

 fera. The latter are rare ; besides pelagic forms, Bulimina contraria and 

 Amphistegina lessoni occur here. There are also present Alcyonarian spicules 

 and fragments of Corals. 



Station 105.— July 23rd, 1896. Lat. 8° 26' 5" S., long. 178° 55' 4" E. 

 Depth, 2400 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, pale and chalky ; wet, 

 cream-colour. Ostracoda rare, viz. Oythere and Krithe. This sample is 

 rich in Foraminifera, and contains, besides the pelagic forms of Orhulina, 

 Globigerina, Candeina, Sphceroidina, Pullenia, and Pidvimdina, the following
