Genus Sigmoilina, Schlumberger, 1887. 



Sigmo'ilina schlumbergeri, Silvestri. 



Planispirina celata (non Costa sp.), Brady, 1884, Rep. Chall., vol. ix, p. 197, 

 pi. viii, figs. 1-4. Sigmoilina schlumbergeri, A. Silvestri, 1904, Mem. 

 deir Pontif. Ace. Romana d. Nuovi Lincei, vol. xxii, p. 267. S. schlum- 

 bergeri, Silvestri, Chapman, 1907, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zool., 

 vol. XXX, p. 21, pi. ii, fig. 42. 



The young forms of this species are pellucid, the incrustation of the test being 

 apparently a character appertaining to the more fully grown shell. 



Distribution. — The species has a wide range, and is not restricted to any par- 

 ticular depth. It is also found fossil in the Australian Tertiary beds. 



Present Occurrence. — Ten miles north of Enderby Island ; 85 fathoms ; very 

 rare. 



Sigmoilina celata, Costa sp. 



Spiroloculina celata, Costa, 1856, Atti Ace. Pontan., vol. vii, pt. la, pi. xxvi, 

 fig. 5. Sigmoilina celata, Costa sp.. Chapman, 1907, Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. Lond., Zool., vol. xxx, p. 21, pi. ii, fig. 41. 



The present example is the broader form, as distinct from S. schlumbergeri. It 

 is more usually found in late Tertiary deposits. 



Present Occurrence. — Off the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; very rare. 



Subfam. HAUERININAE.

Distribution.— This is a rare form, having occurred only at Kerguelen Island ; 

 off Prince Edward Island ; Humboldt Bay, north coast of Papua ; the Malay Archi- 

 pelago ; the Mauritius ; and ofE Western Australia. The writer recorded it fossil 

 from the Tertiary beds of Grice's Creek, Port Phillip.

 single example, fortunately showing the initial series and about 4 succeeding seg- 

 ments.
