by the shape of the earlier chambers that in the young state the 

 base would be oval, but in maturity the outline becomes circular. 

 I figure one of these tests. The umbilical cavity is deeply sunk. 

 Millett remarks, in the above reference, p. 557, that " The Malay 

 specimens are associated with a minute hyaline Discorbina, to which 

 they bear a considerable resemblance." I can find no reference to 

 this form under " Discorbina," and I wonder whether the variety I 

 have illustrated is the one to which he refers. It appears to me 

 to be a variant of T. inconspicua. At all events the chambers are 

 Textularian in arrangement.

With two exceptions, the examples are comparatively small. 

 They are more neatly built than the specimens figured in the 

 "' Challenger" Keport, and the inflation of the chambers is not so 

 marked. 



The minute hyaline form is well represented, and the tests 

 agree in every particular with Millett's figure in the above 

 reference.
