REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA. 
119 
weaker forms of Opercidina and Haploplimgmium . There were also a 
number of Globig evince. 
No. 6. Lat. 52° 25' N., long. 11° 40' W. Depth, 90 fathoms ; surface temperature, 
54° Fahr. (12°*2 C.) ; bottom temperature, 50° Fahr. (10° C.). 
Muddy sand, with pebbles. General aspect of the Ehizopoda very similar to 
No. 1, with the addition of Lcigena, Bolivina, and Nonionina to the 
conspicuous genera. 
No. 11. Lat. 53° 24' N., long. 15° 24' W. Depth, 1630 fathoms; no record of 
temperature. 
Sand, with fragments of echinus shells, spines, &c. Uvigerina, Truncatulina, 
Bulimina, Cassidulina, and Opercidina in great abundance ; Globigerina 
common, together with a few pelagic Pulvinulince. 
No. 14. Lat. 53° 49' N., long. 13° 15' W. Depth, 173 fathoms; surface temperature, 
53° - 2 Fahr. (ll° - 8 C.) ; bottom temperature, 49°'6 Fahr. (9° - 8 C.). 
Grey, muddy sand, similar in general character to No. 11, and containing 
Foraminifera of the same genera. 
No. 15. Lat. 54° 5' N.,long. 12° 17' W. Depth, 422 fathoms; surface temperature, 
52 0, 2 Fahr. (11°‘2 C.) ; bottom temperature, 47° Fahr. (8°'3 C.). 
Eough sand and stones, with fragments of Echini and Pteropods. Foraminifera 
comparatively rare, much worn and broken, belonging to the common 
northern types, such as Truncatulina, Uvigerina, and Biloculina. 
No. 17. Lat. 54° 28' N., long. 11° 44' W. Depth, 1230 fathoms; surface tempera- 
ture, 53° - 2 Fahr. (ll° - 8 C.) ; bottom temperature, 37° '8 Fahr. (3 0- 2 C.). 
Fine greasy mud, with little stones and pebbles. The finer silt had been 
washed out of this before it reached me. The material examined was 
coarse and sandy, and contained Globigerince, with a few pelagic Pidvinulince, 
examples of Haplopliragmium, Hyper ammina, Saccammina, Psammos- 
phaera, Phabdammina, and other arenaceous types ; also specimens of 
Biloculina, Truncatulina, Uvigerina, Operculina, and Cassididina. 
No. 18. Lat. 54° 15' N., long. 11° 9' W. Depth, 183 fathoms; surface temperature, 
53°‘2 Fahr. (1 1°*8 C.) ; bottom temperature, 49°'4 Fahr. (9° - 6 C.). 
Fine grey sand, with a good many Globigerince, and a few pelagic Pidvinulince. 
The prominent Foraminifera belonged to the following genera : — Bidimina, 
Cassidulina, Bigenerina, Lagena, Uvigerina, Nonionina, and Opercidina.
