394 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON DEEP-SEA FOKAMINIFERA 



noteworthy species among others : — Haplojyhragmmm latidorsatum, Cyclam- 

 mina cancellata, Bxdimina buchiana, Cassidulina calabra, Lagena alveolata, 

 L. lorigJitiana, Nodosaria jUifoi^mis, Cristellaria gihha, Sagraina bifrons, 

 Truncatxdina dtitemplei, Pidvinidina favus, Rotalia soldanii, and Polystomella 

 crispa. 



Station 109.— July 23rd, 1896. Lat. 8° 30' 9" S., long. 179° 0' 7" E. 

 Depth, 604 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Ostracoda rare, one genus only, viz. 

 Loxoconclia. Also Echinoid spines and Pteropods (^Styliold). Foraminifera 

 chiefly pelagic. Among other species the following are worth noting : — 

 Verneuilina spinulosa, Anomalina amtnonoides, Planorbidina mediterranensis, 

 and Trvncatulina akneriana. 



Station 138.— July 27th, 1896. Lat. 7° 20' 0" S., long. 177° 2%' 5" E. 

 Depths 2688 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, reddish brown ; wet, dark 

 purple-brown ; coherent. This sample yielded only a small series of pelagic 

 Foraminifera, in which Globigerina is conspicuously absent. Species present 

 are Cassidulina sid)globosa, Pidlenia quinqueloba, Truncatulina haidimieri, 

 JSonionina umbilicatida, and JS^. pompilioides. Other organic remains are 

 fragments of the mesh of a hexactinellid Sponge and numerous small Fish- 

 teeth. Amongst the inorganic particles are crystals of Phillipsite and an 

 ovoid chondre of meteoritic origin, showing characteristic curved, radial, and 

 plumose markings. 



Station 140.— July 28th, 1896. Lat. 8° 16' 0" S., long. 178° 16' 0" E. 

 Depth, 2476 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, pale pinkish brown ; wet, 

 dark brown ; coherent. The Foraminifera comprise a small but interesting 

 series of pelagic and bottom-living forms, the latter including Bilocidina 

 depressa var. murrJiyna, Cassidtdina subglobosa, Lagena Icevis, L. marginata, 

 L. fimbriata, Truncatulina pygmcea, T. ungeriana, T. haidingeri, Anomalina 

 grosserugosa, and Nonionina depressula. Other organic remains include Fish- 

 teeth and some ovoid pellets either of Fishes or Echinoderms. 



Station 141.— August 1st, 1896. Lat. 8° 55' 30" S., long. 179° 2& 45" E. 

 Depth, 2741 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, brown mottled with white 

 particles ; incoherent. Alcyonarian spicules present. Foraminifera chiefly 

 pelagic, and also the following : — Hyperammvna elorigata, Cassidulina sub- 

 globosa, Nodosaria consobrina, and Amptliistegina lessoni. 



Station 142.— August 1st, 1896. Lat. 9° 10' 0" S., long. 179° 48' 5" E. 

 Depth, 2435 fathoms. Globigerina Ooze. Dry, pale creamy bro\^ n ; 

 coherent. A small series of Foraminifera, including, besides pelagic forms, 

 the following : — Biloculina depressa var. murrJiyna, Verneuilina pygnicea, 

 Cassidtdina siibglobosa, Lagena globosa, Discorbina arancana, and Truncatulina 

 ungeriana.
