Discovery reports (1929) Discovery reports discoveryreports101935inst Year: 1929 MATERIAL EXAMINED 27 (a) The bottom sample consisted of about 20 cc. dark olive-green mud, largely diatomaceous. Foraminifera abundant but in no great variety. Among the rarer forms were Gordiospira fragilis and Hippocrepinella alba. The dominant species were Psammosphaera parva, Miliammina oblonga, M. aretiacea, Cassidiilina crassa, and ribbons of an organism suggesting Rhizammina algaeformis. (b) Organic residues, principally molluscan, angular sand grains and sponge spicules. Fora- minifera in the finer mater

(b) Organic residues, principally molluscan, angular sand grains and sponge spicules. Fora- minifera in the finer material much the same as in (a). Some specimens of Hvperaniinina siibiiodosa selected from the nets were also received. BD° 60° 40° 20 Fig. I. Positions of stations at which Foraminifera were obtained. 169. TS638. Fig. I, E II. 22. ii. 27. 60° 48' 50' S, 51° 00' 20' W. Sounding, 2514 m. About 18 cc. dark grey tenacious mud, a diatom ooze; washed on 200-mesh silk gauze the residue consisted of diatoms {Coscinodiscus sp.), Radiolaria, sponge spicules and a few sand grains of varying sizes. Foraminifera few in number and largely pauperate, but with many species of interest including Proteonina micacea, P. tubulata, Textularia temnssima, T. nitens, T. wiesneri, T. antarctica and Globotextularia anceps. 170.
