as well developed as the elongate specimen figured by Brady *, which 

 are so common in the Philippine region farther north. Neither 

 Chapman nor Sidehottom record this species from this region.

There are several specimens which are apparently the same as the 

 species described from southern Japan. Sidebottom has recorded 

 this species from his m.aterial from Australia, and has suggested that 

 Chapman's material figured from Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, 

 under the names Spiroplecta sagittula (Def ranee), and S. sagittula, var. 

 Jistulosa Brady ^ is this same species. This material from New Zea- 

 land that I have had confirms this view. The largest specimens have 

 between 30 and 40 chambers. The early portion suggests a spiro- 

 plectine condition, and although the other chambers can not be made 

 out, the specimens are apparently microspheric.

There are several specimens on the slide evidently belonging to 

 this species. The largest of these is very close to the figure given by 

 Brady ^ which he refers to T. trochus d'Orbigny. I have already 

 called attention to the fact that this is not the same as D'Orbigny's 

 species from the Cretaceous. This is apparently a species of the 

 coral reef regions in the Indo-Pacific. Chapman records T. trochus 

 from Great Barrier Island.

There are a few specimens evidently belonging to this species. 

 They are somewhat like T. conica, but are much more compressed. 

 Sidebottom records this species from the east coast of Australia.
