This species occurs in vast profusion and in great variety of form. 

 The variety figured (plate II. fig. 13) is so numerous, so persistent in 

 form, and so widely distributed in the Malay Archipelago, that it is 

 deemed worthy of notice.

This rather unsatisfactory form is represented by a few specimens 

 from Station 13. In general appearance they bear some resemblance 

 to Bolivina nitida Brady,* but the ' Challenger ' form is more compact 

 and less Virguline in character. 



Bifarina Parker and Jones. 

 Bifarina Machinnonii sp. n., plate II. fig. 15. 



Test elongate, tapering towards the aboral extremity. "Virguline 

 chambers numerous and compressed into a cylindrical mass. Uniserial 

 chambers triangular and much compressed, margins acute and carinate. 

 Sutures limbate, forming a zigzag line. Aperture an elongated slit, 

 terminal, and extending the full width of the chamber. Length 

 0-63 mm. 



This interesting form is very rare. I have found a few poor 

 specimens from the ' Challenger ' dredgings from Station 185, Raine 

 Island, and to Mr. A. Earland I am indebted for some good examples 

 from Macassar Straits. 



In the Malay Archipelago it has been noticed only at Station 22. 



To the late Sir William Mackinnon, Chairman of the Board of 

 Directors of the Netherlands India Steam Navigation Co., Mr. Durrand 

 is indebted for the facilities afforded him for obtaining the material 

 which forms the subject of this Beport ; and in recognition of this 

 kindness, this species is respectfully dedicated to his memory.
