REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA.

Station 76.— July 3, 1873. Lat. 38° 11' N., long. 27° 9' W. Off the Azores. 
Depth, 900 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 4°‘2 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Containing small stones, pteropods, and a good deal of coarse stuff. In addition 
to Globigerina and the pelagic Pulvinulince, the more noteworthy species 
belong to the genera Biloculina, Miliolma, Cristellaria, Truncatulina, 
Rupertia, Haplophragmium, Trocliammina, and Hormosina. 
Station 78.— July 10, 1873. Lat. 37° 24' N., long. 25° 13' W. Depth, 1000 
fathoms ; Globigerina ooze. 
Coarse material very similar in character and contents to the last-named, but 
richer in the large arenaceous types. This is almost the only locality at 
which Astrorhiza granulosa and Astrorhiza angulosa have been observed ; 
and Rhabclammina (User eta, Hormosina carpenteri, and two or three species 
of Haplophragmium are amongst the more abundant forms. One or two 
specimens of Polytrema were also noticed. 
F. Stations 84 to 110, North Atlantic from Madeira, by the Canaries and Cape de 
Verde Islands, to the Equator, at about long. 30° W. 
Station 85. — July 19, 1873. Lat. 28° 42' N., long. 18° 6' W. Off Palma, Canary 
Islands. Depth, 1125 fathoms ; volcanic sand. 
Resembled very closely the two foregoing samples (Stations 76 and 78), both 
in the nature of the dredged material and the organisms found in it. Rhab- 
dammina abyssorum and Cyclammina cancellata may be added to the list of 
arenaceous species. 
Station 93. — July 27, 1873. Off St. Vincent. Depth, 1070 fathoms ; mud. 
Furnishes a long and interesting list of species. In addition to the 
Globigerince, Pulvinulince, and other ordinary constituents of a Globigerina 
ooze, the thimbleful of material — for only a sounding was obtained — was 
especially rich in the genera Bulimina, Cassidulina, and Haplophragmium. 
The following amongst other rare forms were found in it : — Cassidulina 
subglobosa, Bulimina contraria, Virgulina subsquamosa, Textularia quad- 
rilatera, Haplophragmium scitulum, and Trochammina nitida. 
Station 98. — August 14, 1873. Lat. 9° 21' N., long. 18° 28' W. Depth, 1750 
fathoms ; bottom temperature, 2 o, 0 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Largely composed of Pulvinulina menardii; amongst the Globigerince are a 
number of specimens of Globigerina rubra. The Arenacea are represented
