TEXTULARIIDAE loi 



169. Bulimina patagonica, d'Orbigny (F 130). 

 Two stations: WS 349, 522. 



Very rare and not very typical, the best at WS 522. 



170. Bulimina aculeata, d'Orbigny (F 131). 



Seven stations: 16, 149; WS 37, 63, 351, 429, 523. 



Rare and extremely pauperate, except at WS 523, where a good many excellent 

 specimens were found. 



171. Bulimina subteres, Brady (F 134). 

 Three stations: 123, 144; WS 33. 



Very rare and poorly developed at all stations. 



172. Bulimina elegantissima, d'Orbigny (F 135) (Plate III, fig. 47). 



One station : WS 27. 



Represented in the South Georgian material by a single very fine ' ' budding "specimen. 

 In spite of the fact that WS 27 is off" the west end of South Georgia, it is possible that 

 this occurrence of only a single specimen of a typical Falkland species may be due 

 to a foul net or sieve, rather than to an extension of habitat. 



173. Bulimina buchiana, d'Orbigny. 



Bulimina buchiana, d'Orbigny, 1846, FFV, p. 186, pi. xi, figs. 15-18. 

 Bulimina buchiana, Brady, 1884, FC, p. 407, pi. li, figs. 18, 19. 

 Bulimina buchiana, Cushman, 1918, etc., FAO, 1922, p. 95, pi. xx, fig. 4. 



Four stations: WS 63, 429, 522; MS 14. 



Rare or very rare. All the specimens are rather smaller than the average but other- 

 wise typical; the largest and best were at WS 522. 



Genus Virgulina, d'Orbigny, 1826 



174. Virgulina schreibersiana, Czjzek (F 138). 



Forty-five stations: 13, 14, 15,20,23,28,30,31,42,45, 123, 129, 131, 136, 144, 145, 149, 151, 157, 

 660; WS 25, 27, 28, 32, 33, 37, 41, 42, 43, 45, 47, 50, 63-4, 113, 154, 348, 349, 351, 357, 418, 429, 



522, 523; MS 14, 68. 



Almost universally distributed and one of the most abundant species round South 

 Georgia. It is common at most stations in the above list and very common at several, 

 while at St. 144 and WS 63-4 it is a dominant form. By contrast there are stations 

 (Sts. 15, 28, WS 28, 523) at which the species is extremely rare, and others (as at St. 30) 

 where, though frequent, the specimens are pauperate and small. The best specimens 

 were noted at MS 68, WS 25, 32, 33, 349 and 429. The variation referred to in the 

 Falkland Report, viz. long and short forms usually occurring together, was noticed at 

 most stations.
