Chapman. — On some Foraminifera and Ostracoda. Ill 



Affinities. — In outline our species is somewhat comparable 

 with C. fovtolata, G. S. Brady, * with the exception that the 

 valves of that species are not produced in the postero-ventral 

 region ; it further essentially differs from ours in the surface- 

 markings of the carapace, which in G. foveolata consist of a 

 minute and dense punctation. 



Another form of the same genus which we may compare 

 with the present species is C. nndrewsi, Chanman,! which, 

 however, shows the following differences : Test less depressed 

 at the anterior end; ornament not so distinctly polygonally 

 areolate ; and muscle-spots arranged in rosette form. 



Very rare in our sounding.

Genus Cypridina, Milne-Edwards.

Cypridina dance, G. S. Brady, 1880, Eep. Chall., Zool.. pt. iii, 

 p. 156, pi. xxxvi, figs. 2 a-d. 



The specimen before us is somewhat crushed, making an 

 exact comparison difficult. It resembles the above species 

 fairly closely in side view, but the relative proportions of the 

 carapace in edge view are not clearly seen. Our specimen, 

 like that of Brady's, is partially chitinous in places, and the 

 anterior notch and posterior truncated beak are similarly 

 shaped as in C. dance. Brady's species is based on a single 

 specimen obtained from Kerguelen Island at a depth of 

 120 fathoms. 



Genus Asterope, Philippi. 



Asterope australis, G. S. Brady. 



Asterope australis, G. S. Brady, 1890, Trans. B. Soc. Edin.,

 Trans. Zool. Soc, vol. xiv, p. 431, pi. xliii, figs. 1-8. 



It is of great interest to meet with this genus in the 

 present collection, since the cypridinads are comparatively 

 rare in the Southern Hemisphere, so far as they are at present 

 known. Brady's original specimens of A. australis came from 

 the coral islands of the Pacific — Noumea, 2-4 fathoms; Suva, 

 inside reef; Mango Island, fringing-reef ; Apia, Upolu, reef 

 and shore pools. 



One typical carapace was found in the present sounding off 

 Great Barrier Island.
