FORAMINIFERA— HERON-ALLEN AND EARLAND. 85 



(H.-A. & E., 1912, etc., NSG. No. 5, 1917, p. 550, pi. xxix, figs. 1-1 1). Until all 

 Brady's specimens have been found and identified the question of Sorosphaera 

 nuist remain in abeyance, but it seems highly probable that it represents merely 

 agglomerated associations of different varieties of Thurammina, such as we have 

 figured {loc. cit.) on pi. xxx, under the name T. pajnllata. var. canaliculata, Haeusler, 

 and var. elegantissima, Haeusler.

Stations 2, 7, 26, 29, 33, 40, 50, 53, 55. 



The records are few, but the specimens are very good, the largest and best at 

 Station 2. Other large individuals at Stations 29, 40 and 55. At Station 53, 

 two specimens of the roughly constructed, wide-mouthed and spiculiferous form 

 figured in our paper (NSG. No. 2, 1913, pi. i, figs. 15-19), for which Cushman pro- 

 poses the varietal name anglica (C, 1918, FAO. p. 45). At Station 50, a very 

 small specimen with neatly constructed tubular mouth resemblmg Ehumbler's 

 S. mimita (E., 1909, etc., FPE. 1909 (1911), pi. i, figs. 8. 9 ; 1913, p. 375. See 

 C, 1918, FAO, p. 46, pi. 20, fig. 5.) We figure an abnormal specimen from 

 Station 2. It apparently represents a malformed and broken Saccammina, in 

 the broken cavity of which is a mass of protoplasm and metaplastic bodies 

 which protrudes through the aperture of the Saccammina and extends in an 

 unseptate tube constructed of fine mud and cement (rV'. Ehumbler, 1884, Zeitschr. 

 wiss. Zool., vol. Ivii, p. 489, pi. -xxii, figs. 23-24a). The specimen, including 

 tube, measures 7 mm.

Stations 6, 29. 



The records depend on a single Station in each area. At Station 6 a series 

 of individuals was found ranging up to 10 mm. in length, presenting very marked 

 idiosyncrasies in their construction. The outer wall of the test is built up of 

 a firmly agglutinated crust of relatively small sand-grains, incorporated with 

 ferruginous cement to form a comparatively smooth wall, dark in colour owing 

 to the large proportion of heavy minerals built in. At the terminal portion of 

 the test a mass of very loosely aggregated clear siliceous sand-grains, larger than 

 those employed in the construction of ' the wall, is heaped together without any 

 investing wall. So far as can be judged in the absence of sections, it appears
