REPOET ON THE FORAMINIFERA. 
91 
Station 164 A. — June 13, 1874. Lat. 34° 13' S. long. 151° 38' E. Off Sydney. 
Depth, 410 fathoms ; grey ooze. 
The organisms contained in the material from this Station are infiltrated in 
a very remarkable manner with a siliceous mineral (Glauconite), and by decal- 
cifying with weak acid, perfect casts of the chambers of most of the Fora- 
minifera of a common Globigerina ooze may he obtained. The list of species 
is a tolerably long one, and contains an admixture of some shallow-water forms, 
but otherwise presents nothing very distinctive. 
Station 166. — June 23, 1874. Lat. 38° 50' S., long. 169° 20' E. Off 
west coast of New Zealand. Depth, 275 fathoms; bottom temperature, 
10° '0 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Only a small quantity available for examination, but this yielded a long and 
interesting catalogue of species. Amongst the more noteworthy of these, 
considering the habitat, are the following : — Globigerina rubra, Chilostomella 
ovoidea, Ehrenbergina serrata , Clavulina communis, Clavulina cylindrica, 
Rotalia clathrata, Anomalina coronata, Frondicularia incequalis, and Ramu- 
lina globulifera. The strictly arenaceous genera are only sparingly repre- 
sented. 
Station 167. — June 24, 1874. Lat. 39° 32' S., long. 171° 48' E. West coast 
of New Zealand. Depth, 150 fathoms ; grey ooze. 
Leaves but little residue after washing ; contains the common pelagic species of 
Globigerina and Pulvinulina; a considerable number of Cristellarice, amongst 
them Cristellaria tricarinella and Cristellaria reniformis ; also various 
species of Nodosaria, Chilostomella, Bulimina, Cassidulina, Truncatidina, 
&e. There is a conspicuous absence of the arenaceous types. 
Station 167 A. — Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. Mud from tow-net. 
A small quantity of black mud with broken shells ; the Foraminifera, chiefly 
common varieties of Miliolina, Lagena, Bulimina, Rotalia, Nonionina, and 
Polystomella, present nothing of special interest, except Rotalia clathrata, 
of which the specimens are fine and characteristic. 
Station 168. — July 8, 1874. North-east coast of New Zealand. Lat. 40° 28' S., 
long. 177° 43' E. Depth, 1100 fathoms; bottom temperature, 2 o, 0 C. ; 
grey ooze. 
Washings of dredge ; consisting chiefly of mud and the arenaceous tubes of 
annelids (and of Rhizopoda ?). The foraminiferal fauna resembles that of a 
rich northern Globigerina mud, with a large number of arenaceous species. 
Amongst the more interesting forms are Pulvinulina pauperata and
