THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
Radiolaria and Foraminifera. It contained a few pelagic Globig evince and 
Pulvinulince, with Cassidulina crassa, Pullenia quinqueloba and Anomalina 
coronata in greater abundance, as well as the slender and delicate Articulina 
funalis. The specimens of Pullenia were remarkable for their variety of 
colour when first taken out of spirit, the sarcode of some being yellowish, of 
others brown, pinkish, or olive-green. The remaining species were of no 
special interest. 
Station 146. — December 29, 1873. Lat. 46° 46' S., long. 45° 31' E. Depth, 
1375 fathoms ; bottom temperature, l° - 5 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Greyish white mud with fragments of echinus shell, spines, &c. Like the 
foregoing, chiefly made up of Globigerina bulloides and Globigerina inflata. 
Of the surface Pulvinulince the comparatively uncommon Pulvinulina crassa 
appears to preponderate in this locality. Arenaceous Foraminifera are almost 
entirely wanting. The occurrence of two or three specimens of Clavulina 
communis forms perhaps the most interesting feature in the dredging. 
Station 149 D. — January 19, 1874. Kerguelen Islands, Balfour Bay, Royal 
Sound. Depth, 20 to 60 fathoms. 
Composed of shallow- water organic remains of all sorts, — algae, sponges, annelids, 
molluscan-shells and the like, with but little sand. Foraminifera by no 
means abundant, and, with the exception of Discorbina jparisiensis, the 
specimens of which were particularly fine, and the somewhat rare Articulina 
funalis, all of common littoral species of such genera as Miliolina, 
Biloculina, Truncatulina, and Polystomella. The same material supplied a 
long list of Ostracoda. 
Station 149 E. — January 20, 1874. Kerguelen Islands, Royal Sound. Depth, 
28 fathoms. 
Mud, made up in like manner of organic debris, with many Ostracoda 
and Diatomacese. The Foraminifera consisted of poor specimens of common 
littoral and shallow-water species. 
Station 149 I. — January 29, 1874. Kerguelen Islands, off Christmas Harbour. 
Depth, 120 fathoms. 
The material brought up in the dredge was a felted mass of siliceous, fibre-like 
sponge-spicules. Lodged in its meshes were Ostracoda, Foraminifera, and 
Diatomacese. Of the Foraminifera the following are the most characteristic 
species : — Pullenia quinqueloba, Cassidulina crassa, Articulina funalis,
