Evidence of Pacific water influence indicated by several species, Lagena exscu/pta, var. occlusa, L. stelligera, L. sidebottomi, L. desmophora. Numerous crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate were observed. 290. (Deposit No. 14.) 6. iii. 03. 67" 39' S, 36^ 10' W. Sounding, 2500 fathoms. Glacial Mud. (Blue Mud.) About 400 cc. of tenacious blue clay which, after drying, broke down readily, leaving very little residue: a manganese-coated pebble, many large sand grains, fine angular sand, a few crystals of gypsum and abundant crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate, mostly small. Sixteen species of arenaceous Foraminifera, mostly represented by single specimens, the most interesting species being Hippocrepina flexibilis. Sponge spicules and Radiolaria very rare; no Fig. 2. Positions of stations from which Foraminifera were examined. 295. (Deposit No. 15.) 10. iii. 03. 66" 40' S, 40° 35' W. Sounding, 2425 fathoms. Glacial Mud. (Blue About 180 cc. of tenacious slate-coloured clay was dried and washed twice, yielding as residue a pebble coated with manganese and sessile organisms, and about i cc. of angular sand grains of all sizes. Very few Radiolaria or sponge spicules, and no diatoms. Some glauconite, and a few small crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate. Foraminifera very rare; all arenaceous. 300. (Deposit No. 16.) 12. iii. 03. 65° 29' S, 44" 6' W. Sounding, 2500 fathoms. Glacial Clay. (Blue Mud.) About 150 cc. of tenacious blue clay which left hardly any residue on the 150-mesh silk sieve; angular sand grains of all sizes; Radiolaria and sponge spicules ver\' rare; no diatoms; much mica and a few crystals of hydrated calcium oxalate; some unrecognizable fragments of large Foraminifera. The smaller species were scanty, worn and broken. Cychimniina piisilla was the only form occurring with any frequen
