388 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



One of the specimens figured probably represents the megalospheric form, the pro- 

 loculum being equal in breadth to the subsequent chambers, which are only four in 

 number. It is rare everywhere.

One station: 388. 



Two good specimens. 



Genus Vaginulina, d'Orbigny, 1826 



265. Vaginulina legumen (Linne). 



Nautilus legumen, Linne, 1788, SN (ed. xiii), p. 3373, no. 22. 



Vagimiliiia legumen, Brady, 1884, FC, p. 530, pi. Ixvi, figs. 13-15. 



Vaginulina legumen, Burrows, Sherborn and Bailey, 1890, RC, p. 559, pi. x, fig. 16. 



Eleven stations: 48, 388; WS 82, 86, 87, 88, 93, 217, 221, 248, 408. 



Only occasional specimens, excepting at WS 88, where it is abundant and variable, 

 including many monstrous individuals, due usually to the fusion of two or more 

 primordial chambers. 



266. Vaginulina spinigera, Brady. 



Vaginulina spinigera, Brady, 1884, FC, p. 531, pi. Ixvii, figs. 13, 14. 

 Vaginulina spinigera, Cushman, 1921, FP, p. 259, pi. xlii, fig. i. 



Three stations: 235 ; WS 215, 408. 



No perfect specimens, but fragments of the initial portions at each of the stations. 

 Brady appears to lay stress on the presence of two or more spines as a specific feature. 

 Two-spined specimens are, we must admit, the rule in British dredgings, but the present 

 fragments, though possessing only a single spine, agree in other respects with the type, 

 with which we are familiar from our own dredgings, and it does not seem worth while 

 to separate the two forms on so trivial a point. 



267. Vaginulina badenensis, d'Orbigny. 



Vaginulina badenensis, d'Orbigny, 1846, FFV, p. 65, pi. iii, figs. 6-8. 

 Vaginulina badenensis, Neugeboren, 1856, OLS, p. 98, pi. v, figs. 7, 8, 9. 

 Vaginulina badenensis, Costa, 1853, etc., PRN, 1856, p. 181, pi. xii, figs. 16, a, A. 



One station: WS 88. 



A few megalospheric specimens only, conforming fairly well to d'Orbigny 's type 

 though the spine is either absent or poorly developed. It may be a local variety. There 

 is a Type tube in Paris labelled " V. badenensis, d'Orbigny Ipoly Sagh (Haut Hongrie)"
