No. 19. Lat. 54° 53' N., long. 10° 56' W. Depth, 1360 fathoms; surface tempera- 
ture, 54°’8 Fahr. (12° - 6 C.) ; bottom temperature, 37°'4 Fahr. (3° C.). 
Fine Globigerina ooze, with a good many pelagic Pulvinulince, the other con- 
spicuous genera being Bulimina, Virgulina, Cassidulina, Lagena, and 
Truncatulina. It contained also a considerable number of Eadiolaria. 
No. 20. Lat. 55° 11' N., long. 11° 31' W. Depth, 1443 fathoms ; surface tempera- 
ture, 55°'5 Fahr. (13° C.); bottom temperature, 37° Fahr. (2 0, 8 C.). 
Fine white Globigerina ooze, with a few Eadiolaria, leaving very little residue 
after washing. The salient Foraminifera were of the genera Globigerina, 
Pulvinidina, Truncatulina, Biloculina, Miliolina, and Haplophragmium. 
No. 23. Lat. 56° 7' N., long. 14° 19' W. Depth, 630 fathoms; surface temperature, 
57°’3 Fahr. (14° C.); bottom temperature, 43°’5 Fahr. (6°’4 C.). 
Labelled “ siftings from the sieves.” A coarse fibrous-looking mass of arenaceous 
Ehizopods, sponge-spicules, young sponges, echinus spines, mollusean shells, 
&e. Amongst the more striking Foraminifera the genera Sorosphcera, 
Pelosina, Hyperammina, Marsipella, Cyclammina, Rhabdammina, Hap- 
lophragmium, Biloculina, Cristellaria, Uvigerina, and Globigerina were 
conspicuous. 
No. 28. Lat. 56° 44' N., long. 12° 52' W. Depth, 1215 fathoms ; surface tempera- 
ture, 57°‘6 Fahr. (14°'2 C.); bottom temperature, 37°‘l Fahr. (2°*8 C.). 
Labelled “ siftings from the sieves : ” coarse sandy material, from which the 
finer portions had been separated by washing ; containing Globigerince and 
some pelagic Pulvimdince, with large Biloculince, Rhabdammina cornuta, 
Gaudryina pupoides, Gaudryina baccata, and Virgulina schreibersiana as 
prominent forms. There were also a few Eadiolaria. It was in the coarser 
material from this Station that the finest specimens of Pilulina jeffreysii 
were obtained by Dr. Carpenter. 
2nd Cruise. — South and South-West of Ireland. 
Dredging is recorded at thirteen Stations, of ivhich samples from four only have 
been examined for the present Report. These pertain to the limited region lying between 
lat. 47° 38' and 49° 12' N., and between long. 10° 57' and 12° 52' W. 
No. 35. Lat. 49° 7' N., long. 10° 57' W. Depth, 96 fathoms; surface temperature,
