REPORT ON THE EORAMINIFERA.

Station 343 A. — March 30, 1876. Long Beach, Island of Ascension. Shore sand. 
A parcel of clean white sand, containing little beyond a few specimens of 
Polytrema miniaceum. 
Station 343 B. — April 2, 1876. Off Ascension Island. Depth, 7 fathoms. 
Calcareous material, chiefly nullipore, with Polytrema as the principal Fora- 
minifer. There were also a few specimens of Alveolina melo, one or two 
of Miliolina bertheliniana, some small Amphistegince , Textidarice, Orbitolites, 
and other shallow-water tropical forms. 
Station 344. — April 3, 1876. Off Ascension Island. Depth, 420 fathoms; hard 
ground. 
The material brought up at this locality was sand, with fragments of shell and 
coral, and the Foraminifera which it contained were of the usual Globigerina 
ooze species, with Pullenia obliquiloculata notably abundant, and Globigerina 
rubra frequent. Except some young specimens of Carpenteria (figured in 
PI. XCVIII. figs. 13-17), nothing of particular rarity was met with in its 
examination. 
Station 346.— April 6, 1876. Lat. 2° 42' S., long. 14° 41' W. Depth, 2350 
fathoms ; bottom temperature, 0°’4 C. ; Globigerina ooze. 
Contained a full list of Globigerina ooze species, with scarcely any uncommon 
forms, except perhaps Ehrenbergina serrata, Virgulina subdepressa, and 
Lagena seminiformis. The sandy types were represented chiefly by small 
neat examples of one or two varieties of Haplophragmium. Amongst other 
microzoa were a number of Ostracoda and Radiolaria. 
Q. Stations 348 to 354 A. — North Atlantic, from the Equator about long. 14° IF., 
by the Cape de Verde Islands to the Azores, thence touching at Vigo, to 
Portsmouth. 
Station 352 A. — April 24, 1876. Off St. Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands. Depth, 
11 fathoms. 
Dredged calcareous material, chiefly nullipore. Abundance of Amphistegince, 
with a few Pidvinulince, and a number of common shore species. 
Station 354 A. — May 21, 1876. Vigo Bay, Spain. Depth, 11 fathoms; anchor 
mud.
