340 SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. {Foramimjera. 



Ohservations.—'Y\n& form resembles Williamson's original figures of L. quadrota, 

 with tlie exception that the shoulders are more sloping in our examples, and also 

 that the submarginal border is interrupted apically. The form is so constant 

 in the present series that it seems justifiable to regard it as a distinct and new 

 form. 



Occurrence. — Oft" the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; very rare. Twenty miles north of 

 Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; very common. Ten miles north of Enderby Island ; 

 85 fathoms ; very common. 



Subfam. NODOSARIINAE. 



Genus Nodosaria, Lamarck, 1812. 



Nodosaria subradicula, Schwager. (Plate XVI, fig. 2.) 



Nodosaria subradicula, Schwager, 1866, " Novara " Exped., geol. Theil, 

 vol. ii, p. 222, pi. V, fig. 50. 

 This is a striate form of N. radicula, L. sp., which was originally described by 

 Schwager from the Pliocene of Kar Nicobar. The present occurrence seems to be 

 its first appearance as a Recent form. 



Present Occurrence. — Ten miles nort.h of Enderby Island ; 85 fathoms ; one 

 example. 



Nodosaria oligostegia. Reuss.

 Several fragmentary specimens, in all probability referable to the above, were 

 found. This species is also common in certain fossil deposits of Cretaceous age. 



Distribution. — The " Challenger " examples were dredged off the Ki Islands, 

 and off the west coast of New Zealand. 



Present Occurrence. — Off the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; rare. Twenty miles north of 

 Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; frequent. Ten miles north of Enderby Island ; 

 85 fathoms ; rare.

sp., Brady, 1884, Rep. Chalk, vok ix, p. 505, jil. Ixiii, fig, 1. 



Distribution. — Most commonly met with in the North Atlantic. It has, however, 



been previously found in the New Zealand area, off Great Barrier Island, at 110 



fathoms, in soundings examined by the writer. 



Present Occurrence. — Twenty miles north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; 

 rare, Ten miles north of Enderby Island ; 85 fathoms ; very rare.
