This delicate little Nodosaria, with its thin transparent cham- 

 bers resembling a string of bubbles, is common in the Malay 

 Archipelago, and widely distributed in both Areas. Usually the 

 test consists of two or three segments only, and these, from the 

 formation of the last added chamber, appear to be complete in 

 themselves, but there are examples which possess four and even 

 five segments. Some of the two-chambered specimens differ from 

 N simplex Silvestri only in wanting the mucro at the base of the 

 initial chamber. Goes suggests that N. calomorpha may be the 

 megaspheric form of N radicula or A. paupcrata. 



The area of distribution of the species is very wide; whilst 

 bathymetrically its range according to Brady is from 6 fathoms to 

 2200 fathoms, and it is recorded by Dr. Egger from depths of 17 to 

 677 metres.

This fragile variety is represented by both the straight and the 

 curved form D. guttifera d'Orbigny. At no Station is it abundant, 

 but it occurs in both Areas.
