Dr. J. GwYu Jeffreys on the 



[June \o, 



with include Ci)da?pis longicaudata. Gr. 0. Sars (which was described by 

 him from the Lofoden Islands, where it was found in 150 fathoms), 

 three new Isopoda belonging to the family Tanaidce, and fourteen Ostra- 

 coda, for the most part new and very fine species, but including also 

 Bairdia fusca. Gr. S. Brady (only known before from Australia), Bairdia 

 suhdeltoidea, Ton Miinster, and Bairdia CrossJceiana, Gr. S. Brady (de- 

 scribed from the Leyant), Cythere scahra, Yon Miinster, and Cythere 

 echi/iata, Gr. 0. Sars (known before from the Lofoden Islands). The 

 roraminifera include a fine form of the very rare Cornusinra margariti- 

 fera, Williamson, Layena pidcliella, H. B. Brady, Nonionina pomjpiloides, 

 F. & ]M., Pulvimdiiia pauperata, P. & J., and Bolivina plicata^ D'Orb. 

 Here, too, was procured the most interesting sponge of the cruise, being 

 a fragment of what appears to form when perfect a large cup or fan- 

 shaped HexactineUid, nearest allied perhaps to Farrea occa. 



Station So. 13. Lat. 56= 1' X, Long, 34° 42' W. ; 690 fathoms. 



A bottom of rock and sand. Xotwithstanding the difference in depth 

 between this and the last station, out of thirteen Ostracoda found here 

 eight are common to the two localities ; and of the remaining five, four are 

 perhaps new, and the last is the Cythere ahyssicola of Sars. Among about 

 fifty species of Foraminifera are two Bilocidince (which do not seem refer- 

 able to any of the numerous recent and fossil forms already described), 

 a pedunculate Fla norhidina (s^^hich was also taken in the 'Porcupine' 

 Expedition off Faroe, but is still imdescribed), together with Cyclammina 

 canceJIata, H. B. Brady, MS., Rheopacc scorpiurus, Montfort, Gaudryina 

 pupoides, D"Orb., and Orhitolites tenuissimus, Carpenter. 



Station Xo. 14. Lat. 55= 58' X, Long. 31° 41' TF. ; 1230 fathoms. 



Pemarkable among about thirty Foraminifera are a beautiful large 

 rariety of Uvigerina j)ygma;a, D"Orb., in which the ribs are elevated into 

 strong plicae, and the delicate, perfectly transparent, and extremely 

 fragile genus Cheilostomella, which is now for the first time recorded as 

 occurring in a recent state. Specimens have, however, been in my collec- 

 tion some years, which I found among sand dredged in 1870 by Dr. 

 Jefceys's yacht ' The Osprey,' in 112 fathoms, off Yalentia Island. 



Station No. 15. Lat. 55= 58' X, Long. 28° 42' W. ; 14S5 fathoms. 



Only a very small quantity of material examined from this locality ; 

 and it contains nothing worthy of special remark, except that a frag- 

 ment of Orhidina Neojurinensis, Karrer, gives a second locality for that 

 fine addition to recent Foraminifera. 



Station No. 16. Lat. 55° 10' X, Long. 25° 58' 7F. ; 17S5 fathoms. 



Among the Globigerina-ooze of this the deepest dredging of the ' Yalo- 

 rous ' Expedition there was a mutilated specimen of an Echinoderm
