Dentalina .toluta, Rcuss, 1851, FSUB. i). 60. pi. iii. fig. 4. 



Nodosaria „ Brady, 1884, FC. p. 503, pi. l.xii, figs. 13-16 ; pi. Ixiv, fig. 28. 



Stations 6, 7, 16. 



Typical fragments from Stations 7 and 16, and at Station 6 a perfect speci- 

 men intermediate between this species and L. subtertenuata.

391. Nodosaria gracilis, Neugeboren. 



Nodosaria (jracilis, Neugeboren, 1850, etc., FOL. 1852, p. 51, \A. i, figs. 27-29. 



Station 6. 



One large fragment, consisting of three chambers only, but measm-ing 4 mm., 

 which we have no hesitation in attributing to this extremely elongated type of 

 N. filiformis. As Neugeboren's name had been anticipated for a different 

 form by d'Orbigny we might have ascribed this specimen to N. Jiliformis, 

 d'Orb.

Cushman, 1910, etc., FNP. 1913, p. 55, pi. .x.wii, figs. 1-4. 



Stations 6-8, 10, 16. 



Confined to the N.Z. area and the deep water to the immediate south. 

 Nothing noteworthy about the specimens except at Station 6, where recent 

 specimens attain a remarkable size. At the same Station fossil remains occur of 

 very nuich smaller dimensions. This would appear to show a change of 

 conditions at the locality in the intervening period.

Stations 3-6, 8, 10, 11, 17, 18, 38 (-f E. d.J.). 



Generally distributed down to Station 38. Best in the N.Z. area, where very 

 fine and large examples occur at Stations 5 and 6. Outside this area best at 

 Station 18. At Stations 10 and 11, where the type is small and inconspicuous, a 

 compressed vaginuline variety occurs and is rather better developed. They closely 

 resembled the specimens described and figured by us from the West of Scotland.
