REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA. 
89 
Ammodiscus chciroides, Ammodiscus shoneanus, Ammodiscus gordialis, 
Reophax spiculifera, Haplophragmium canariense, and Haplophragmium 
glomeratum. 
Station 150. — February 2, 1874. Lat. 52° 4' S., long. 71° 22' E. Between 
Kerguelen and Heard Islands. Depth, 150 fathoms; bottom temperature, 
1°'8 C. ; rock. 
The dredged material contained a good deal of organic debris of one sort or 
other, derived from sponges, brittle-stars, corals, &c., with only a limited 
Rhizopod-fauna. Globigerince of the small, rounded, starved variety, 
tolerably abundant, together with Cassididina crcissa, a subangular variety 
of Uvigerina pygmcea , Truncatulina lobatula, and Biloculina depressa. 
Amongst other microzoa may be mentioned a few Ostracoda and some 
Radiolaria. 
Station 151. — February 7, 1874. Off Heard Island. Depth, 75 fathoms; mud. 
Black mud with algae. As at the previous Station, Cassididina crassa, Pullenia 
quinqueloba, and a subangular variety of Uvigerina pygmcea were the 
prevailing Foraminifera. There were a few specimens of Articulina funalis, 
and the genera Lagena, Bolivina, Patellina, and Discorbina were repre- 
sented amongst others. 
Station 153. — February 14, 1874. Lat. 65° 42' S., long. 79° 49' E. Ice barrier. 
Depth, 1675 fathoms; mud. 
Fine sandy mud, leaving scarcely any residue after washing ; containing 
Diatomacese and abundance of Radiolaria. This sounding is of interest as the 
most southerly yet obtained, the locality being but little more than a degree 
outside the Antarctic Circle. The characteristic Foraminifera are Globigerina 
dutertrei, Haplophragmium latidorsatum, Cyclammina pusilla, and Clavu- 
lina communis. 
Station 155. — February 23, 1874. Lat. 64° 18' S., long. 94° 47' E. Ice barrier. 
Depth, 1300 fathoms; mud. 
Light coloured muddy material, similar to the foregoing both in physical 
characters and microzoic fauna, but with fewer arenaceous Foraminifera, 
and a corresponding increase in calcareous species. 
Station 157. — March 3, 1874. Lat. 53° 55' S., long. 108° 35' E. Depth, 1950 
fathoms ; diatom ooze. 
White feathery-looking siliceous material, almost entirely composed of Diato- 
macese and Radiolaria, effervescing but little on treatment with acid.
