330 SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. [Foraminifera. 



Some of our specimens have a nearly parallel-sided test, resembling d'Orbigny's 

 Textularia nussdorfetisis. 



Distribution. — A well-known form in temperate seas, and more abundant at 

 moderate depths. Recorded from the New Zealand area by the " Challenger " 

 (Sta. 169), and off Great Barrier Island, 110 fathoms, by the writer. Dr. Egger 

 records this species from the Western Australian coast. 



Present Occurrence. — Off the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; frequent. Twenty miles 

 north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; common. Ten miles north of Enderby 

 Island ; 85 fathoms ; frequent.

It is of much interest to note the occurrence in the subantarctic material of 

 this variety, which was previously described from the Tertiary beds of Victoria. 

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



Bulimina subteres, Brady. (Plate XIV, fig. 10.)

 and west coast of Australia.
