REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA. 
95 
Station 189. — September 11, 1874. Lat. 9° 36' S., long. 137° 50' E. Depth, 
25 to 29 fathoms ; mud. 
Sandy mud, with shells and fragments of Echini. Foraminifera practically 
identical with those at Station 188. In both localities Miliolina reticulata 
is abundant, and the specimens are sculptured in a singularly beautiful 
manner, as shown in PI. IX. figs. 2, 3. The material appeared rich in 
Ostracoda. 
Station 191. — September 23, 1874. Lat. 5° 41' S., long. 134° 4' E. Off Arrou 
Islands. Depth, 800 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 3 0, 9 C. ; mud. 
Bluish muddy clay, leaving scarcely any residue after washing. Contained a 
few Foraminifera, of Globigerina ooze species, with the addition of Uvigerince 
and Bulimince, and one or two of the smaller arenaceous forms. 
Station 191 A. — September 24, 1874. Lat. 5° 26' S., long. 133° 19' E. Off 
Ki Islands. Depth, 580 fathoms; bottom temperature 4° ’9 C. ; mud. 
A black unctuous mud, of which very little remained after washing ; very 
rich in Foraminifera, and containing a few Ostracoda and Badiolaria. In 
addition to the common pelagic species of Globigerina and Pulvimdina, the 
very rare Globigerina digitata was there found in great perfection. In 
the same locality occur Frondicularia incequalis and Bulimina contraria. 
The genera Bulimina, Uvigerina, and Lagena are all largely represented. 
Station 192. — September 26, 1874. Lat. 5° 42' S., long. 132° 25' E. Noon. 
Off Ki Islands. Depth, 129 fathoms ; mud. 
Sandy mud, with fragments of coral, even richer in Foraminifera than the 
foregoing. Of rare species the following are noteworthy: — Frondicularia 
robusta, Frondicularia interrupta, Frondicularia spathulata, Frondicularia 
incequalis, Polymorphina seguenzana, Ramulina globulifera, Ehrenbergina 
serrata, Carpenteria monticularis, and Spiroplecta annectens. 
Station 195. — October 3, 1874. Lat. 4° 21' S., long. 129° 7' E. Banda 
Sea. Depth, 1425 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 3°‘0 C. ; grey ooze. 
The material examined was the “ washings of trawl,” which consisted of mud, 
with many black grains, and contained large numbers of arenaceous Foramini- 
fera. Of this group the following genera furnish the bulk of the specimens : 
— Cyclammina, Haplophragmium, Reophax, Hormosina, Webbina, Rhab- 
dammina, and Ftyperammina. A single specimen of Bathysiphon Jiliformis 
was also obtained. The calcareous Foraminifera present no remarkable 
features.
