MR. W. K. PARKER AND PROFESSOR T. R. JONES ON SOME 
F. No. 25. Lat. 39° 41' 10", long. 71° 43': 105 fathoms. Fine greyish-green sand, 
very rich in Foraminifera , especially in Globigerina (tigs. 20-22, Gl. infiata , D’Orb.), 
with Marginulina Bachei, Bailey (fig. 5, rare), and Textularia Atlantica, Bailey (figs. 
11-13, common); also Sponge-spicules and Diatomacece . 
G. No. 27. About East from Little Egg Harbour ; lat. 38° 4F, long. 76° 6' : 20 fathoms. 
Fine-grained sand with black specks. A few fragments of bivalve and univalve Shells, 
small spines and numerous plates of an Echinoderm, and some Foraminifera : Trilocn * 
Una Frongniartiana, D’Orb. (figs. 44, 45), Bobulina D'Orbignii , Bailey (figs. 9,10, rather 
common), and several specimens of a minute species of Botalina (1) ; also Diatomacece . 
G. No. 31. Lat. 39° 20' 38", long. 72° 44' 35" : 50 fathoms. Fine-grained greyish sand 
with much mud. A considerable number of 'including Marginulina Bachei , 
Bailey (rather common), Bobulina D'Orbignii, Bailey (figs. 9, 10), and Globigerina rubra , 
D’Orb. (common; but not so common as in F. No. 25); also Diatomacece and some 
Sponge-spicules. 
G. No. 8. Lat. 39° 31', long. 72° 11' 20": 89 fathoms. Sand, coarser than the last, 
not so muddy, and about the same colour. Abounding in Textularia Atlantica, Bailey 
(figs. 38-43), and in Globigerince (figs., 20-24, Gl. infiata and Gl. bulloides), and also 
containing Marginulina Bachei , Bailey, Bobulina D'Orbignii, Bailey, and Orbulina uni- 
versa, D’Orb., together with a few Diatomacece and Sponge-spicules. 
H. No. 2. South-east from Cape Henlopen ; lat. 38° 46' 40", long. 75° 00' 30": 10 
fathoms. Fine sand, slightly muddy. One specimen of Triloculina and a few minute 
nautiloid Foraminifera ; together with a great variety of Diatomacece, some Sponge-spi- 
cules, and a few small spines of an Echinoderm. 
H. No. 17. Lat. 38° 29' 56", long. 74° 38' 4": 20 fathoms. Clean quartzose sand, 
coarser than the last, white and yellow, with black specks. Many Diatomacece , but no 
evidences of Foraminifera except their soft parts, retaining the form of the chambers. 
H. No. 67. Lat. 38° 9' 25", long. 74° 4' 5": 50 fathoms. Clean greyish sand, con- 
taining a few minute Globigerince and Botalince ; also Diatomacece. 
H. No. 1. Lat. 38° 4' 40', long. 73° 56' 47": 90 fathoms. A rather coarse grey sand, 
with some mud, containing a few Diatomacece and a vast number of Foraminifera, 
“ particularly Globigerina, many thousands of which must exist in every inch of the sea- 
bottom at this locality.” The following were also common here : — Orbulina universa , 
D’Orb. (fig. 1), Marginulina Bachei, Bailey (figs. 2-6), Bobulina D'Orbignii, Bailey (figs. 
9, 10), Botalina Ehrenbergii, Bailey (figs. 11-13). 
Professor Bailey described and figured nearly, if not quite, all the different forms of 
Foraminifera that he met with in his examination of these soundings, — also some of the 
Diatoms and Sponge-spicules, as well as some minute spherical calcareous bodies, occur- 
ring either singly or united in strings and bunches (transparent when mounted in balsam), 
which he' thought might possibly be ova of Foraminifera, but which we believe to be 
little inorganic crystalline globules of calcite, common in many sea-beds. The calcareous 
granules he found abundantly at 90 fathoms, and at 105, 89, and 20 fathoms.
