Di.stfibutioii. — Dr. H. B. Brady remarks tliat this species is influenced more by 



depth of water than by latitude, being found at depths less than 150 fathoms. Egger 



records it from west Africa, the Mauritius, New Guinea (from over 1,500 fathoms !), 



and Fiji ; Millett obtained it from the Malay Archipelago, in comjjaratively shallow 



water. New to the New Zealand area. 



Preaoit Occurren.ce. — OfT the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; one example.

Did the carinate form of the above species occur here very rarely it might be 



passed over as an aberrant form. All the examples, however, which were found in 



the present series are carinate, with one exception, so that it will serve a useful 



purpose to distinguish it as a definite variety. Our examples most resemble Brady's 



pi. Ix, fig. 5, but one of the specimens is only partially carinate, as in pi. lix, fig. 16. 



IHstribution. — Millett finds this variety " in the Malay Archipelago, but only in 



small numbers." Sidebottoni notes the partially carinate variety from the Island 



of Delos. 



Present Occurrence. — Of! the Snares : 60 fathoms ; very rare. Twenty miles 

 north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; rare. Ten miles north of Enderliy Island ; 

 85 fathoms ; frequent. 



Lagena enderbiensis, s]). nov. (Plate XVI, figs. 1 n, h,) 



Description. — Test compressed ; subovate, elongate. Shoulders sloping ; aboral 

 end often terminating in a blunt point. A submarginal border forming a roundly 

 carinate edge on each side, not extending to oval area nor to the apical point. Orifice 

 entosolem'an, with apertural extremity often everted, but short. Length of type, 

 0-83 mm. ; greatest width, 0-44 mm.
