57. Reophax distans, Brady (SG 104) (A 148). 

 Three stations: 312, 313, 438. 



Large, very coarsely constructed fragments are not uncommon in the trawl washings 

 from St. 313. Single neatly built fragments elsewhere. 



Genus Nodellum, Rhumbler, 1913 



58. Nodellum membranaceum (Brady) (A 153). 

 Two stations : 438, 447. 



Extremely rare : a good specimen at St. 447. 

 Pearcey: 313 "rare". 



Genus Hormosina, Brady, 1879 



59. Hormosina globulifera, Brady (F 89) (SG 108) (A 154). 

 Nine stations: 290, 301, 303, 312, 313, 417, 428, 432A, 447. 



Common at St. 313, and frequent at St. 417 in the trawl washings; also frequent in 

 the soundings from Sts. 303 and 447 ; rare or very rare elsewhere. The majority of the 

 specimens everywhere are megalospheric, rarely exceeding two chambers, but micro- 

 spheric specimens up to 4-5 chambers were found at Sts. 303, 313, 417, exceptionally 

 large at the last station. The tests are usually constructed of coarse sand and roughly 

 finished, but of fine sand and cement, neatly finished at Sts. 428, 447. 



Pearcey: 295, 420 "rare". 



60. Hormosina normani, Brady (Plate I, fig. 19). 



Hormosina normani, Brady, 1879, etc., RRC, 1881, p. 52; 1884, FC, p. 329, pi. xxxix, figs. 19-23. 

 H. normani, Pearcey, 1914, SNA, p. 1007. 

 H. normani, Wiesner, 1931, FDSE, p. 92, pi. x, figs. 1 19-21. 

 One station: 417. 



Rare, but attaining a gigantic size and up to four chambers. These rapidly increase in 

 diameter, and are neatly constructed, the walls being very thin. The largest specimen, 

 fragmentary, had a final chamber nearly 5 mm. in diameter. It is probable that the 

 species is widely distributed in the Weddell Sea, as fragments believed to be the 

 apertural disc between successive chambers were seen in several soundings, the thin 

 globular tests having become disintegrated. 



Pearcey: 291 "not uncommon", 313 "rare", 417 "in fair abundance and of very 

 large size". 



61. Hormosina carpenteri, Brady. 



MoniHform Lituola, Carpenter, 1875, M, 5th ed., p. 531, fig./; 1881, 6th ed., p. 563, fig./. 

 Hormosina carpenteri, Brady, 1879, etc., RRC, 1881, p. 51; 1884, FC, p. 327, pi. xxxix, figs. 

 14-18. 

 Four stations: 313, 417, 418, 421. 



Fragments only, never exceeding two chambers, usually constructed of coarse sand, 

 but at St. 313 of fine sand and cement as in the North Atlantic type.
