Extract

The material brought home by the Scotia and available for examination consists in all of fifty-five samples of deposits from the floor of the ocean. The majority of these consist of true “deep-sea” deposits, i.e. material from depths of over 100 fathoms; but, for convenience, the description of a few samples from shallow waters (mostly in the neighbourhood of the S. Orkneys) is also included in this report.

The number of deposits is considerably less than the number of soundings taken by the Expedition, because, for various reasons, a sample of deposit was not obtained in every case where a sounding was taken.
