In addition, eight samples from other localities (indicated by letters) are included, of which five (A, B, C, D, E) are from stations situated north of the area covered by Plate XVII. The sixty-seven samples may be classified thus: Table III.

Si8 314,317,319,381,406,525 Globigerina ooze is the most widespread deposit accumulating in the vast region covered by the South Atlantic Ocean, and all the localities here recorded fall within the area shown for Globigerina ooze on the map appended to the Challenger Report. The majority lie in the main area to the north of lat. 460 S, but four of them appear somewhat isolated in the Discovery records. The most westerly occurrence is at St. 64, to the north- east of the Falkland Islands; the deposit is hardly typical Globigerina ooze, but the loc
