248 MESSRS. E. HERON-ALLEN AND A. EARLAND ON THE 



174. lagena clavata (d'Orbigny). 



Oolina clavata, d'Orbigny, 1846, FFV. p. 24, pi. i. figs. 2, 3. 

 Lagena clavata, Goes, 1894, ASF. p. 75, pi. xiii. figs. 725-727. 



17 Stations. 



Almost universally distributed, and fairly frequent at some Stns. The individuals 

 are large, and on the whole well-grown and typical. At Stn. 2 a few individuals with a 

 ring of small cusps round the base were found, comparable with Millett's var. setigera 

 (M. 1898, etc.,FM. 1901, p. 491, pi. viii. fig. 9), but the processes are extremely minute 

 as compared with the long spines shown in the Malay figure. At Stn. 20 an abnormal 

 example with the basal half of the shell expanded decanter fashion was found. 



175. Lagena gracillima (Seguenza). 



Amphorina gracillima, Seguenza, 1862, FMMM. p. 51, pi. i. fig. 37, 

 Lagena gracillima , Brady, 1884, FC. p. 456, pi. lvi. figs. 19-28. 



13 Stations. 



Fairly generally distributed, never very common, the best at Stns. 2, 5, and 20. 

 There is, as usual, a considerable range of form, specimens passing imperceptibly into 

 L. clavata, on the one hand, and into L. elongata (Ehrenberg), on the other. This latter 

 form occurs at Stns. 9 and 14, very long and tubular, the sides practically parallel for 

 the greater part of their lengtb, but constricted at the extremities much more than in 

 Ehrenberg's original figure of Miliola elongata (E. 1854, M. pi. xxv. fig. 1), which 

 probably represents a broken test. Fornasini's note on this subject printed and 

 issued in 1895, which unfortunately was not published in any scientific journal, 

 discusses the affinities of this form. 



176. Lagena gracilis, Williamson. 



Lagena gracilis, Williamson, 1848, BSGL. p. 13, pi. i. fig. 5. 



„ Brady, 1884, FC. p. 464, pi. Iviii. figs. 2, 3, 7-10, 19, 22-24. 



12 Stations. 



Occurs at many Stns. in two very distinctive forms : a long, regularly tapering, 

 finely striate shell like Brady's fig. 8 (supra) and a short costate type (Brady's fig. 2). 

 Practically every stage between these two is represented, and often at the same Stn. 

 The long form passes imperceptibly into L. disloma and the short into L. sulcata. 



177. Lagena distoma, Parker & Jones MS. 



Lagena distoma, Brady, 1864, RFS. p. 467, pi. xlviii. fig. 6. 



Brady, 1884, FC. p. 461, pi. Iviii. figs. 11-15. 



7 Stations. 



Very sparingly distributed, only an occasional specimen, and these comparatively 

 small when compared with those from the 'Goldseeker' dredgings in the North Sea, 

 where it attains quite a gigantic size (see our note on L. gracilis).
