This seems to be a common species from the number of mounted 

 specimens. They are close to the figures given by Brady for this 

 species. 



Genus FRONDICULARIA Defrance, 1824. 



FRONDICULARIA COMPTA H. B, Brady. 



Frondicularia compta H. B. Brady, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. 19, 1879, p. 

 57, pi. 8, fig. 6; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 520, pi. 65, fig. 

 19. 



Brady figures and describes a very peculiar specimen under this 

 species name. It came from off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, 

 depth 38 fathoms. He also figures ^ a specimen from off Kaine Is- 

 land which he refers to F. archiaciana d'Orbigny. In this material 

 from New Zealand there are four specimens which should be referred 

 to either one or the other of these figures given by Brady. These 

 have from three to five chambers. One of them has somewhat the 

 ornamentation shown in plate 114, figure 12. The others are more 

 hke the earlier chambers of F. comida, plate 65, figure 19. It seems 

 quite likely that both the specimens which Brady had may be one 

 species, in which case they probably should both be placed under 

 Brady's species. At any rate the New Zealand specimens which are 

 in this collection seem to belong to F. compta, which is evidently a 

 very rare species, and should be looked for elsewhere in the Indo- 

 Pacific region. 



Subfamily Polymorphininae. 



Genus POLYMORPfflNA d'Orbigny, 1826. 



POLYMORPHINA GIBBA d'Orbigny. 



Polymorphia {Globulina) gibba d'Orbigny, Aiin. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 226, 



No. 20.

71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 3, 1913, p. 85, pi. 41, fig. 4. 



Both the typical form and two specimens of the fistulose form 

 occur on the slides. They are very close to the figures given by 

 Brady.
