Abstract
THROUGH the courtesy of Dr. B. Kullenberg, who is in charge of the study of the sediment cores from the Indian Ocean taken by him with the aid of his revolutionary sampler during the Swedish Deep-Sea Expedition, I have been able to examine several of the cores from that Ocean for microfossils. These investigations have been mainly restricted to the Radiolaria, and on this subject there is considerable disparity between our results and those of the John Murray Expedition to the same area. As this lack of agreement involves the matter of the technique of investigation of the biological components of deepsea sediments, it is considered advisable to publish a short notice before the appearance of the complete reports of the Expedition.
