REPORT OH THE FORAMINIFERA. 
121 
Fine light grey sand, with large numbers of Foraminifera. Salient genera, Buli- 
mina, Bolivinct, Cassidulina, Lagena, Uvigerina, and Globigerina, together 
with the little northern form of Operculina. 
No. 36. Lat. 48° 50 ; N., long. 11° 9 r W. Depth, 725 fathoms; surface tempera- 
ture, 64° Fahr. (17°'8 C.); bottom temperature, 43°‘9 Fahr. (6°'6 C.). 
Coarse brown, sandy gravel, with broken echinus spines and molluscan shells, 
but chiefly remarkable for the enormous numbers of large thick-shelled 
Orbulince which it contained. The genera of Foraminifera best represented 
were Globigerina, Orbulina, Pulvinulina, Truncatidina, Anomalina, Bidi- 
mina, Glandulina, Opercidina, Miliolina, Webbina, Haplophragmium, and 
Cyclammina. 
No. 37. Lat. 47° 38' N., long. 12° 8' W. Depth, 2435 fathoms; surface tempera- 
ture, 65 0, 6 Fahr. (18° - 6 C.); bottom temperature, 36 0, 5 Fahr. (2 0, 5 C.). 
Globigerina ooze, the Foraminifera chiefly Globigerince and Orbulince, and 
pelagic species of Pulvinulina ; the arenaceous types represented by two 
forms of Haplophragmium which were tolerably abundant, Reophax 
scorpiurus, Reophax dentaliniformis and Reophcix diffugiformis, and frag- 
ments of Rhizammina algceformis. 
No. 42. Lat. 49° 12' N., long. 12° 52' W. Depth, 862 fathoms ; surface tempera- 
ture, 62 0, 6 Fahr. (17° C.) ; bottom temperature, 39°'7 Fahr. (4°'3 C.). 
Orbulina ooze ; a grey mud, consisting in very large proportion of thick-shelled 
Orbulince. The prevalence of this type is even more striking than in No. 36, 
though the individual specimens scarcely attain the same dimensions. 
Beyond the genera Globigerina, Pidvinulina, and Truncatulina, there is 
little that is noteworthy, though the material furnishes a tolerably long list 
of species. 
3rd Cruise. — Faroe Channel. 
On this voyage bottom-dredgings ivere taken at betiveen fifty and sixty Stations, ofi 
which reliable samples from only eight or nine have been preserved. Of these, seven are 
from mid-channel, between the north of Scotland and the Faroe Islands, directly west of 
Shetland ; the eighth is from two localities in comparatively shallow water east of 
Shetland. Some interesting material from the west coast of Scotland, off the Isle of Skye, 
has been included in the series for want of a better 'place.
