B. affinis are here variants of B. elegans, and are both represented by 

 individuals feeble and few in number. In these the aperture is normal. 

 They are all widely distributed in the Malay region, although, with 

 the exception of B. elegans, they are nowhere abundant. 



Bulimina elegans d'Orbigny var. exilis Brady. 



Bulimina elegans var. exilis Brady, 1884, Chall. Kept., p. 399, 

 pi. i. figs. 5, 6. 



This variety has hitherto been found only in deep water, and is 

 said by Brady to be not rare in the North Atlantic, and also to have 

 been met with in the North and South Pacific. It does not appear 

 to have been noticed by other observers. 



In the Malay Archipelago it is very rare in its normal condition, 

 but there are varieties of Virgulina closely resembling it, which are 

 not uncommon. 



Bulimina fusif or mis Williamson, plate II. fig. 2.

 Gt. Britain, p. 63, pi. v. figs'. 129, 130. B. fusif ormis (Will.) 

 Wright, 1900, Geol. Mag., dec. 4, vol. vii. p. 100, pi. v. fig. 5. 



Is found in more or less abundance on the coasts of Great Britain, 

 and is stated by Joseph Wright to be " common " in the Post-Glacial 

 beds of Cheshire. 



The triserial specimen figured under this name by Terquem * can 

 hardly be assigned to this species. 



The Malay examples, although neither numerous nor widely dis- 

 tributed, are sufficiently characteristic, and as usual, indicate an 

 affinity with the genus Virgulina. 



Of its existence elsewhere either in the recent or the fossil condition, 

 there is no evidence to record.

' Is not well represented, the specimens being small and feeble as 

 well as few in number. It appears to be restricted to Area 1.
