It is not uncommon at Station 25, in Area 2, but has not been 

 observed at any other locality in the region.

About twelve years ago Mr. W. H. Harris, then of Cardiff, 

 obtained from the late Captain Seabrook some dredgings from the 

 Java Seas. These were distributed amongst various rhizopodists, and 

 excited much attention from the number of interesting forms contained 

 in them. It was from these dredgings that Mr. Harris procured the 

 specimens of the new genus Seabrookia which formed the subject of a 

 paper by the late Dr. H. B. Brady, published in this Journal in the 

 year 1890. 



The differences between Seabrookia and Chilostomella are so slight 

 that it is questionable if they are of generic value ; quite as much 

 variation exists amongst the forms assigned by common consent to the 

 genus Lagena. The chief difference is in the form and position of 

 the aperture ; whilst in Seabrookia these are remarkably uniform, 

 in Chilostomella they vary very much, as shown in the specimens 

 figured by Sherborn and Chapman, Kzehak, Franzenau, and Silvestri. 

 This is, however, a question which must be decided by future researches. 



The 3Ialay specimens vary so slightly that it is difficult to dis- 

 tinguish one individual from another. 



It occurs at several Stations in both Areas, but is nowhere 

 numerous. 



The localities named by Brady and Joseph Wright are, off Cebu, 

 120 fathoms, Java Sea, 45 fathoms, and 'Challenger' material from 

 Station 33, off Bermudas, 435 fathoms.
