ForaminiferaJ] SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. 339 



Distribution of the Type Species. — Occurs on the shores of the British Islands 

 (Williamson) ; the North and South Atlantic and the South Pacific (Brady) ; round 

 the Island of Delos (Sidebottom). 



Occurrence. — Twenty miles north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; common. 

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

 pi. ii, figs. 1, 2. 



Distribution. — Dr. H. B. Brady remarks that this species is influenced more by 

 depth of water than by latitude, being found at depths less than 150 fathoms. Egger 

 records it from west Africa, the Mauritius, New Guinea (from over 1,500 fathoms !), 

 and Fiji ; Millett obtained it from the Malay Archipelago, in comparatively shallow 

 water. New to the New Zealand area. 



Present Occurrence. — Off the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; one example. 



Lagena quadrata, Williamson sp., var. carinata, var. nov. (Plate XV, fig. 12.) 



Lagena quadrata, Williamson sp., Brady (pars), 1884, Rep. Chall., vol. ix, 

 p. 475, pi. lix, fig. 16 (partially carinate specimen) ; pi. Ix, fig. 5. 

 L. quadrata, Will, sp., Millett, 1901, Journ. R. Micr. Soc, p. 496, 

 pi. viii, fig. 18. L. quadrata. Will, sp., Sidebottom, 1906, Mem. & 

 Proc. Manch. Lit. & Phil. Soc, vol. 1, pt. ii, p. 8, pi. ii, fig. 3. 



Did the carinate form of the above species occur here very rarely it might be 

 passed over as an aberrant form. All the examples, however, which were found in 

 the present series are carinate, with one exception, so that it will serve a useful 

 purpose to distinguish it as a definite variety. Our examples most resemble Brady's 

 pi. Ix, fig. 5, but one of the specimens is only partially carinate, as in pi. lix, fig. 16. 



Distribution. — Millett finds this variety " in the Malay Archipelago, but only in 

 small numbers." Sidebottom notes the partially carinate variety from the Island 

 of Delos. 



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

 north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; rare. Ten miles north of Enderby Island : 

 85 fathoms ; frequent. 



Lagena enderbiensis, sp. nov. (Plate XVI, figs. 1 a, b,) 



Description. — Test compressed ; subovate, elongate. Shoulders sloping ; aboral 

 end often terminating in a bhmt point. A submarginal border forming a roundly 

 carinate edge on each side, not extending to oval area nor to the apical point. Orifice 

 entosoleman, with apertural extremity often everted, but short. Length of type, 

 0-83 mm. ; greatest width, 0-44 mm.
