THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
SlATIOS 
couKl Bometiraes be observed in the body of the nodules, incorporated between tlie 
successive layers. 
There were six rounded or rolled pebbles ; the largest, having in one direction a 
diameter of over 3 cm., was a basaltic rock, while the others were fragments of granitic 
and gneissic rocks. These pebbles are believed to have been ice-borne, this Station being 
just bevond the borders of the region of floating ice in the southern hemisphere. Twelve 
rounded pieces of j)umice, the largest about the size of a hen’s egg, were also met with ; 
the outer portions were decomposed into earthy matter, and covered with layers of 
manganese, which also penetrated in the form of dendrites throughout the whole of the 
mass. Numerous magnetic spherules were extracted from the deposit at this Station, as 
well as from the manganese nodules. 
At 4 p.M. made sail. Several albatrosses and one or two Cape pigeons were seen. 
Valparaiso distant at noon, 3324 miles. Made good 144 miles. Amount of current 
10 mOes, direction S. 44° E.
