REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA.

Station 206. — January 8, 1875. Lat. 17° 54' N., long. 117° 14' E., China Sea, 
Depth, 2100 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 2°’3 C. ; red clay. 
Dark-coloured mud, leaving little to examine after the impalpable portion was 
washed out ; containing many Radiolaria. F oraminifera few and poor, of 
common Globigerina ooze species, with nothing requiring note or comment. 
Station 209. — January 22, 1875. Lat. 10° 10' N., long. 123° 55' E. Philippine 
Islands. Depth, 95 to 100 fathoms; bottom temperature, 21 0, 7 C. ; mud. 
Only a small quantity of the material from this locality was available for 
microscopic examination, and it presented a somewhat unusual mixture of 
deep and shallow-water forms. In company with the pelagic types, 
Globigerina, Pulvinulina, Sphceroidina and the like, were Orbitolites, Cym- 
balopora, Chilostomella, and Polystomella. Amongst the less common species 
may be noted Textularia carinata, Truncatulina prcecincta, Truncatulina 
margaritifera, Clavulina parisiensis, Vaginulina patens, and Cristellaria 
calcar. 
Station 214. — February 10, 1875. Lat. 4° 33' N., long. 127° 6' E. Depth, 500 
fathoms ; bottom temperature, 5° '3 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Brown mud, with stones, fragments of Echini and sponges. Except a few 
specimens of Candeina nitida, the Foraminifera were all of common 
Globigerina ooze species. 
Station 217 A. — Humboldt Bay, Papua. Depth, 37 fathoms ; anchor mud. 
Black clay, leaving scarcely any residue after washing, but affording never- 
theless an extended catalogue of shallow-water forms. Of these the 
following are some of the less common : — Nubecularia tibia, Nubecularia 
divaricata, Miliolina triquetra, Miliolina costata, Miliolina cultrata, and 
Miliolina angustissima ; Sagrina virgula, Uvigerina inter rupta, Bulimina 
ivilliamsoniana, Truncatulina prcecincta, Truncatulina rostrata, and Trun- 
catulina ammonoides, and Discorbina vesicularis. 
Station 218. — March 1, 1875. Lat. 2° 33' S., long. 144° 4' E. North of Papua. 
Depth, 1070 fathoms ; bottom temperature, 2°T C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
The material dredged at this Station resembles in almost every respect that 
obtained from similar depth at many points in the North Atlantic. It 
is particularly rich in Arenacea, of which Rhabdammince are the most 
conspicuous, but the genera Reophax, Haplopliragmium, Cyclammina,
