Recent Foraminifera off the East Coast of Australia. 139 



Novara-Exped. Geol., p. 240, pi. vi, fig, 82, and M. glabra Fornasini, 



1890, Mem. Ace. So. Bologna, ser. iv, vol. x, p. 470, fig. 29. 



Fig. 28 is not far removed from M. similis d'Orbigny, fig. 15 

 in the above reference. 



Figs. 29, 30, 31, 32 (?) are somewhat similar in character to 

 M. hullata Eeuss, 1845-6, p. 29, pi. xiii, figs. 34-38 ; and to M. 

 suhbullata Hanken, 1875 (1876), A magy. Kir. foldt. int. evkonyve, 

 p. 39, pi. iv, figs. 9, 10, and pi. v, fig. 9 ; and M. glabra Terrigi, 



1891, Mem. Eeg. Com. Geol. d'ltal. vol. iv, p. 93, pi. iii, fig. 5. 

 Fig. 1, PI. V may be a malformed test or a " cluster " of Lagena 



globosa. 



Figs. 2, 3, PI. V. The nearest figures to these that I can find 

 are Glandulina adunca Costa, 1856, Atti Accad. Pontaniana, 

 vol. vii, p. 128, pi. xi, fig. 24; Psecadium ovatum Seguenza, 1880, 

 Atti. E. Ace. Lincei, vol. vi, p. 139, pi. xiii, fig. 8. 



A few very small tests occur, which I am also placing under 

 M. glabra. 



Vaginulina d'Orbigny. 



VaginuUna leguynen (Linne). 



Nautilus legumen Linne, 1788, Syst. Nat., p. 3378, No. 22, ed. xiii. 

 Vaginulina legumen Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept., p. 530, pi. Ixvi, figs. 13-15. 



A single, long, narrow specimen. 



^ Vaginulina costata (Cornuel). (PI. V, figs. 4, 5.) 



Planularia costata Cornuel, 1848, Mem. Soc. Geol. France, Ser. 2a, vol. iii, 



p. 253, pi. ii, iigs. 5-8. 

 Vaginulina jmtens Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept., p. 533, pi. Ixvii, figs. 15, 16. 

 V. costata Silvestri, 1904, Atti della Pont. Ace. Kom. del Nuovi lincei Lincei, 



anno Ivii, p. 142, woodcuts 3, a-d. 

 V. costata Chapraan, 1907, Rec. For. Victoria, p. 130, pi. 9, fig. 10. 



The three specimens found agree best, as regards outline, with 

 Chapman's figure in the above reference. They are in good con- 

 dition. The sdtures appear to be limbate. The initial chamber is 

 inflated, but when viewed with the light falling directly down the 

 test it has the appearance of being grooved (see fig. 4). 



Chapman and Silvestri bring V. patens Brady under V. costata 

 Cornuel, and my examples appear to me to be nearer to theirs than 

 to Brady's V. patens. In my cabinet I have two specimens from 

 Eaine Island, which have the sides of the test more nearly parallel 

 than those of the " Challenger " examples. 



Vagulina rheophagica sp. n. (PL V, figs. 6, 7.) 



Test elongate, slightly compressed and curved. Each segment 

 bears four costse, two on either side. The segments appear to be bottle-
