Report on Foraminifcra. By F. W. Millett. 521 



' Challenger ' sounding, off the west coast of New Zealand, 275 

 fathoms ; and Brady says that good examples have been dredged 

 on the coast of Kerry. It has been recorded by Joseph Wright at 

 three stations off the south west of Ireland at depths of from 110 to 

 120 fathoms and is stated by him to be common at one of these 

 Stations. Silvestri's examples were dredged off the east coast of 

 Sicily, 22 to 700 metres. 



In the Malay Archipelago it is represented by a few samples 

 from Station 6 m Area 1 and from Station 25 in area 2. 



Nodosaria obscura (?) Eeuss, plate XL figs. 13, 14.

Here are two somewhat anomalous specimens which appear to 

 be related to N. scalaris. Under the name of N obscura Eeuss has 

 described and figured a variable form which in some examples 

 shows no constriction at the sutures throughout the whole of the 

 growth, whilst in other instances the septation of the earlier 

 chambers is indistinct although in the succeeding ones the sutures 

 are deeply sunk. An exaggerated example of this latter form is 

 shown in one of the Malay specimens, fig. 14. 



It is with some hesitation that these examples are ascribed to 

 N. obscura, but whatever they may be they are interesting forms, 

 and therefore worthy of being recorded. 



The only Malay Archipelago Station is No. 22 in Area 2.
