included many specimens which are nothing more nor less than 

 arrested growths of Nodosaria and Polymorphina. 



Both forms are to be found in the Malay Archipelago, and they 

 are evenly distributed over the whole of the region, although nowhere 

 abundantly.

Bearing in mind that most, if not all, of the Lagenee have their 

 apiculate condition, it seems unnecessary to endow each with a separate 

 name ; but pending an entire reform of the classification, it may cause 

 less inconvenience lor the present if these names be retained. 



The form is rare in the Malay Archipelago, but is widely dis- 

 tributed.

This is a form of L. globosa which is not only apiculate, but 

 roughened on the surface. 



The process at the base of the acuminate Lagense may be either 

 solid, or,;_as in; the present instance, tubular. Whether or not the 

 difference's worthy of varietal distinction is very doubtful. 



It is by no means a rare form in the Malay Archipelago, and the
