Planispirina bucculenta, Brady (for references see previous Reports on 

 Foraminifera of Elevated Deposits) 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 3, 121 fathoms, rare. 



Sub-family — Peneroplidin^ 



Genus — Cornuspira, Schultze, 1854 



Cornuspira involvens, Reuss, sp. (for references see previous Reports on 

 Foraminifera of Elevated Deposits) 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 3, 121 fathoms, rare ; No. 4, 153 fathoms, very rare.

This species does not seem to be a typically southern form, but it occurs as a fossil 

 in the Australian tertiary strata. In the living state it is commonly found in the 

 North Atlantic. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 3, 121 fathoms, very rare ; No. 8, 353 fathoms, rare. 



Family— ASTRORHIZID^ 



Sub-family — Astrorhizin^e 



Genus — Pelosina, H. B. Brady, 1879 



Pelosina cylindrica, H. B. Brady (Plate II, fig. 10) 



Pelosina cylindrica, H. B. Brady, 1884, Rep ChalL, vol. ix, p. 236, pi. xxvi,

This species varies considerably in shape and texture, according to the material 

 taken up in the construction of the test. It keeps, however, within the definition 

 given by Dr. Brady, and always contains a large proportion of mud in its cylindrical 

 tube. The foraminiferal shells built into the test are thin and small compared with 

 those selected by genera such as Rhizammina and Rhabdammina. A few sponge 

 spicules are sometimes included in the mud walls, but not to so great an extent as in 

 Technitella. The examples found here vary from 28-5 mm. in length. 



It is somewhat strange to meet with this species in such comparatively moderate 

 depths, for it has been recognised as a peculiarly deep-water form. The Clutllenger 

 records it from the Antarctic Ice Barrier at 1475 fathoms. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 3, 121 fathoms, rare ; No. 5, 171 fathoms, very rare ; 

 No. 7, 225 fathoms, very rare ; No. 9, 360 fathoms, rare.
