Genus BULIMINELLA Cushman, 1911. 



BUUMINELLA ELEGANTISSIMA d'Orbigny. 



Buliminella eleganfissima d'Orbigny, Foram. Amer. ]\Ierid., 1889, p. 51, pi. 7, 

 figs. 13, 14.— II. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 402, 

 pi. 50, figs. 20-22.— SiDEBOTTOM, .Tourn. Roy. Micr. Soc, 1918, pt. 2, p. 122. 



There are three specimens of this very definite species. Brady 

 mentions in the Challenger report this species from AustraHa and the 

 South Pacific and that it is widely scattered elsewhere. Chapman 

 does not record it from Great Barrier Island, but Sidebottom records 

 a single specimen from the east coast of Australia. All specimens 

 are typical rather than like the variety described by Sidebottom. 



Genus VIRGULINA d'Orbigny, 1826. 



VIRGULINA SUBSQUAMOSA Egger. 



Virgulina suhsqumnosa EaaER, "Neues .Tahrb., 1857, p. 295, pi. 12, figs. 19-21. — 

 H, B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Clmllenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 415, pi. 52, figs. 

 9-11.— Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 1911, p. 92, figs. 145-146 

 (in text). 



There are four specimens on the slide which are very close to the 

 figures of this species given by Brady/ but not like the other figures 

 given. It may be possible that Brady has several species under 

 this one name. In the ClmJlenger report Brady mentions that the 

 finest specimens of this species occur amongst the islands of the 

 Pacific, and it is quite probable that these specimens from New 

 Zealand represent one of the species which Brady refers to. These 

 range from Tahiti to the south coast of Japan, vrhich is the range 

 of so many of these species found in the Philippines, and southward 

 to Australia. 



Subfamily Cassidulininae. 



Genus CASSIDULINA d'Orbigny, 1826. 



CASSIDULINA SUBGLOBOSA H. B. Brady. 



Cassidulina subglobosa H. B. Brady, Quart. Jourii. ?*Iifr. Sci., vol. 21, 1881, p. 

 60; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 430, pi. 54, figs. 17, u-c— 

 Clshman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 1911, p. 98. fig. 152 (in text). 



Characteristic specimens of this species are on the slides. It is 

 characteristic of deeper waters in most of the oceans, this being 

 rather less than the usual depth for its occurrence. Both Chapman 

 and Sidebottom record this species in their papers. 



CASSIDULINA BRADYI Norman. 



Cassidulina bradiji (Norman, MS.) Wright, Pro(.'. Belfast Nat. Field Club, App., 

 1880, p. 152— H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 

 431, pi. 54, figs. 6 -10.— Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 1911, p. 99, 

 fig. 153 (in text). 



There are several fine specimens which can be referred to this 

 species. There seems, however, to be a distinction between the 



» Challenger Report, pi. 62, fig. 9.
