VI. On some foraminifera from the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, including Davis Straits and Baffin's Bay

| Summary: | 1. From Baffin’s Bay, between 76° 30' and 74° 45' North Latitude. These specimens are derived from seven deep-sea soundings made during one of the Arctic Expeditions under Sir Edward Parry. These soundings were confided to us by Professor Huxley, of the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, to which Institution they had been given in April 1853 by Mr. J. W. Lowry, who received them of Mr. Fisher, Assistant-Surgeon in the Expedition alluded to. The Foraminifera obtained by us from these soundings are tabulated in Tables I., IV., and VII. This material from the “Arctic Province” of Naturalists is but scanty. None of the Foraminifera here obtained are numerous, except Polystomella striatopunctata , Nonionina Scwpha , Truncatulina lobatu , and Cassidulina lœvigata the first two of which are at home in Arctic waters : and none have attained here a large size except lituolœ . The material from 150 fathoms yielded these relatively large and numerous specimens. |
