REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA.

ancl in arenaceous types. Of the former, the genera Nodosaria, Lingulina, 
Frondicularia, and Cristellaria are represented by remarkably fine examples ; 
the Textularian group contributes specimens of Textularia , Pavonina, 
Bigenerina, Verneuilina, and Clctvidina, which are equally noteworthy ; 
whilst the Arenacea furnish Rhabdcmmina, Hyperammina, Cyclammina, 
and Ammodiscus, together with many of the smaller forms ; and the 
Porcellanea are conspicuous in Orbiculina and large Biloculince. These 
are but the more important out of a long list of Foraminifera. 
C. Stations 25 to 36, North Atlantic, from St. Thomas Island to Bermuda. 
Station 27. — March 28, 1873. Lat. 22° 49' N., long. 65° 19' W. Depth, 2960 
fathoms ; bottom temperature, 1 0, 5 C. ; grey ooze. 
An impalpable mud containing nothing organic. 
Station 33. — April 4, 1873. Off Bermudas. Depth, 435 fathoms; mud. 
White calcareous material, largely composed of the remains of molluscan 
shells, pteropods, and corals with a few Ostracoda. Amongst the Fora- 
minifera, Globigerince and Pulvinulince were plentiful, and with them 
Orbitolites of the simple type, Orbiculince and Amphistegince, the specimens 
of the latter being unusually thin. The genera Frondicularia, Cristellaria , 
Textularia, Clavulina, Haplostiche, Cassidulina, Biloculina, and Cornus- 
pira furnish the rarer species. 
D. Station's 37 to 58, North Atlantic, Bermuda to Nova Scotia and bach to Ber- 
muda. 
Station 40. — April 28, 1873. Lat. 34° 51' N., long. 68° 30' W. Depth, 2675 
fathoms. 
Globigerina ooze, containing the common varieties of Globigerina and Pulvinu- 
lina, with Pullenia, Truncatulina, Lagena, Nonionina and a few small 
Lituolcie. 
Station 45. — May 3, 1873. Lat. 38° 34' N., long. 72° 10' W. Depth, 1240 fathoms; 
bottom temperature, 2° A C. ; mud. 
Grey sandy mud, with a considerable variety of Foraminifera and some Radio- 
laria, the fauna presenting more northerly features. In addition to Globi- 
gerina and Pulvimdina, the following genera amongst others are con 
spicuous : — Pidlenia, Biloculina, Miliolina, Lagena, Cristellaria, Uvigerina, 
Nonionina, Gaudryina, Verneuilina, Bulimina, and Virgulina.
