THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
by Ammodiscus charoides, Webbina clavatci, Thurammina papillata, 
Haplophragmium globigeriniforme, Verneuilina propinqua, and some of the 
smaller species of Hormosina and Reophax. The presence of a few specimens 
of Amphistegina may be noted, as unusual in deep water so far from land. 
There were in addition a few Ostracoda and Radiolaria. 
G. Stations 111 to 142, South Atlantic from, the Equator , about long. 30° W., by 
Pernambuco, Bahia, and the Island of Tristan d’Acunha to the Cape of 
Good Hope. (See also Stations 313 to 347.) 
Station 111.— August 31, 1873. Lat. 1° 45' S., long. 30° 58' W. Depth, 2475 
fathoms ; bottom temperature, 0°'2 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
A yellow mud which left little residue after washing. Rich in Radiolaria, but 
containing few distinctive Foraminifera. After Globigerina, Pulvinulina, and 
Pullenia, the genus Lagena is perhaps best represented ; there were likewise 
two interesting, neatly built Miliolce, namely, Miliolina venusta and Spirolo- 
culina tenuis, which are not uncommon in deep water. Arenacea small 
and rare. 
Station 120. — September 9, 1873. Lat. 8° 37' S., long. 34° 28' W. Off 
Pernambuco. Depth, 675 fathoms ; mud. 
Brown sandy mud, with pteropod shells and some Radiolaria ; very rich in 
arenaceous Foraminifera. Almost every recent variety of Globigerina, and 
all the pelagic Pulvinulince abound in this material, as well as Sphceroidina, 
Pullenia, Candeina ,• and Hastigerina. Amongst Arenacea the following 
are the more important genera : — Cyclammina, Rhabdammina, Hyperam- 
mina, Lituola, and Trochammina. Large specimens of Nodosaria, Lingulina, 
and Biloculina are also noticeable, together with the following rare species : — 
Planispirina sigmoidea, Ophthalmidium inconstans, Cristellaria variabilis, 
and Gaudryina rugosa. 
Station 122. — September 10, 1873. Lat. 9 C 5' S. to 9° 10' S., long. 34° 49' W. 
to 34° 53' W. Depth, 350 fathoms ; mud. 
Brown sandy mud with shell fragments, similar in most respects to No. 120. 
Very rich in the same sandy types, together with large Textularice and 
Bigenerince ; the specimens, however, are generally a good deal worn. 
Station 135. — October 18, 1873. Off Nightingale Island, Tristan d’Acunha. 
Depth, 100 to 150 fathoms ; rock and shells. 
Not very rich in Foraminifera, the only remarkable form being a wild-growing
