MAJOR OWETS" ON THE SURrACE-FAlJFA OI- MID-OCEAK. 153 



cimens of Globigerina lulloides of botli forms, No. 1 and No. 2 

 as here represented (Plate Y. figs. 6 & 7), also a very few of 

 Pulvinulina Jlfenardii. E-unuing down the bay in long. 90° as 

 far as 15° south, these forms continued to be met with, but in no 

 great abundance. 



In lat. 17° S., long. 80° E., I met with a very few of G. lul- 

 loides No. 2, and G. inflata. 



From this point to lat. 22° S., long. 72° E., although the sur- 

 face of the ocean was not altogether free from Eoraminifera, G. 

 hulloides No. 2 was but rarely found. 



In 26° S. lat., and 55° E. long., the Eoraminifera for the first 

 time became at all plentiful. G. hulloides No. 2 was here very 

 fine in size, and the most common form ; G. inflata was here very 

 large, but few in number; G. hulloides No. 3 and G. {Orlulina) 

 universa were likewise present, and the individuals large* 



About 250 miles south of Madagascar, in lat. 29° S., long. 46° E., 

 G. hulloides No. 1 and G. inflata were still fine and plentiful. 



In lat. 26° S., long. 51° E., the centre of this track, where Eo- 

 raminifera abounded, not a trace of them could be found during 

 the daytime. 



At about lat. 29° S., long. 43° E., Eoraminifera were very scarce. 



In lat. 31° S., long. 31° E., very near the south-east coast of 

 Africa, there were a very few of G. hiolloides No. 2, and I met 

 with but one specimen of G. hulloides No. 1. 



Running along the coast to lat. 32° S., long. 30° E., none were 

 taken in the nets. 



In lat. 33° S., long, 29° E., a very few of G. hulloides No. 2 

 made their appearance, with one specimen of G, hulloides No. 1. 



In lat. 37° S., long. 26° E., the Eoraminifera were a little more 

 plentiful, but still very few, and the individuals small : there were 

 some of G. hulloides No, 1 and G. hulloides No. 2, and G. in- 

 flata was not entirely absent. 



After passing the Cape of Grood Hope, and before reaching 

 lat. 33° S., long. 12° E., I found a great change ; the Eoramini- 

 fera had become very abundant, very much more so, even, than 

 they had been to the south-east of Madagascar. G. hulloides 

 Nos. 1 and 2 and G. inflata were equally common ; but Pulvinu- 

 lina Micheliniana here made its appearance, a very few small 

 specimens of Pulvinulina Menaj'dii were also present, and Fulvinu- 

 Una canariensis likewise showed itself. 



Erom this point to lat. 30° S., long. 9° E., the Eoraminifera be- 

 came still more abundant, and continued so to lat. 21°, long, 0°.
