 the figures given by Brady in the CTiallenger report.

There are four specimens which are very evidently this species. 

 Chapman records it from off Great Barrier Island, and our specimens 

 show an exserted aperture very much like that shown by Brady in 

 the Oliallenger report, but more strongly marked. The neck itself, 

 however, has a definite labyrinthic opening, except for the smallest 

 specimens, which are valvuline. I, however, do not think that all 

 specimens referred to Ilajylostiche soldanii and H. duhia should 

 belong to Clavulina, for in the Philippine region especially the two 

 are very distinct. Uaplostiche has no elongate aperture, and the 

 labyrinthic opening is much more complex than in this species.

There are a few specimens of this species on the slide. 



BULIMINA PYRULA d'Orbigny.

 7-10.— Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mas., pt. 2, 1911, p. 78, fig. 126 (in text). 



Specimens like those figured by Brady occur in the material. 



BULIMINA MARGINATA d'Orbigny. 



Bulimina marginata d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 269, No. 4, pi. 12, 

 figs. 10-12.— n. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 405, 

 pi. 51, figs. 3-5.— Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., "pt. 2, 1911, p. 83, fig. 

 136 (in text). 



This seems to be the most common species of the material, and the 

 specimens are very characteristic for the most part. Some of them, 

 however, have spines at the base which make them tend toward 

 B. aculeata in this respect. No typical aculeata were found, how- 

 ever. Sidebottom records all three of these species, and Chapman 

 records B. pyrula and B. marginata; the latter is abundant off Great 

 Barrier Island.
