Report on Foraminifera. By F. W. Millett. 693 



(d'Orb.) Flint, 1899, Rep. U.S. Nat. Mus. for 1897 (1899), p. 325, 

 pi. lxxi. fig. 3. C. nitida (d'Orb.) Khumbler, 1900, in Dr. Karl 

 Brandt's Nordisches Plankton, Heft 14, p. 31, fig. 33. 



This species is very rare in the Malay Archipelago, and has 

 been found only in Area 2. 



The example figured differs materially from the published 

 illustrations of the species, the test being compressed rather than 

 conical. 



C. nitida is not so widely distributed as the other members 

 of the Globigerinid?e to which reference has been made in this 

 Eeport. Besides the localities mentioned by Brady in the ' Chal- 

 lenger ' Eeport, Egger names five Stations, at all of which it is 

 said to be rare. Flint's only Station is "near the Windward 

 Islands."

 Mus. for 1897 (1899), p. 326, pi. lxxi. fig. 4. 



This cosmopolitan species is abundant in the Malay Archi- 

 pelago, and occurs at several Stations in both Areas. The in- 

 dividuals are normal in character, and vary but little in size. 



Spirillina inwqualis Brady. 



Spirillina incequalis Brady, 1879, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., n.s., 

 vol. xix. p. 278, pi. viii. fig. 25. & incequalis (Brady) Egger,' 

 1893, Abhandl. k. bayer. Akad. Wiss., Cl. II. vol. xviii. p. 394, 

 pi. xviii. figs. 40-42. 



This variety is very rare in the Malay Archipelago, and has 

 been observed only at Station 2, in Area 1. 



Brady states that it has been found in shallow-water dredgings 

 from several of the island groups of the Pacific ; the depths ranging 

 from 12 to 155 fathoms. Egger reports it from two 'Gazelle' 

 Stations : Mauritius, 225 fathoms, and West Australia, 196 fathoms.
