HENRY SIDEBOTTOM ON LAGENAE OF THE SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC. 385 



inilate aperture. Specimens occur that are nearly smooth, and 

 .sometimes the lower half of the test is covered with short, blunted 

 spines. Locality : Chiefly Nos. 1, 2, 19, 22.

There are three very large specimens with the body of the test 

 globular. The necks are long and decorated with short, blunt 

 spines. One is apiculate. Locality : No. 1. 



Many specimens similar to the Challenger fig. 2, pi. 57, are 

 present, some of which are almost covered over with exogenous 

 shell-growth, or a deposit of some description. Jjocality : Many 

 stations, but chiefly at Nos. 21, 29, 32. 



PI. 14, fig. 31. There are numerous examples, globular and 

 sub-globular. The entosolenian tube is long and straight. At 

 tlie aboral end of the test the apiculate process is tubular, and 

 often of considerable length. The examples are beautifully 

 hispid ; but in spite of the spines, the long, straight, entosolenian 

 tube can be made out. Locality : Five at No. 1, and one or two 

 at fifteen other stations. 



PI. 15, fig. 1 is round in section and apiculate, the circular 

 orifice being sunk in a square, the corners of which end in spines 

 that are curved downwards. I^ocality : Two at No. 17 and one at 

 No. 32. 



Lagena hispida Reuss, compressed variety (PI. 15, fig. 2). 



There are a large number of this compressed variety. The 

 orifice is slightly phialine, and the test is bluntly apiculate. 

 Many of the specimens are clogged wath exogenous matter, and 

 when in this state the fine, hair-like spines often project a con- 

 siderable distance. Locality : Chiefly Nos. 1, 3, 13, 17, 30, 32. 



Lagena hispida Reuss var. nov. tuhulata (PI. 15, 



figs. 35). 



The test, besides being covered wdth long delicate spines (when 

 in its perfect state) has strong tubular ones arranged sym- 

 metrically upon it, as shown in the drawings. The neck is long, 

 sometimes bent.
