As I have elsewhere stated (Challenger Eeport, p. 400), Bidimina 

 ptupoides and B. ovata (and it may be added B. affinis) "cannot be 

 separated except by comparative characters too variable to be of any 

 real zoological value." I see no advantage in referring Williamson's 

 B. impoides var. fusiformis to B. ovata, as proposed by Parker and 

 Jones ; indeed it seems to be a fairly distinct form more nearly allied to 

 B. pupoides. B. ovata stands about midway between B. pupoides and 

 B. pyrida. 



These BuUmin^e are common all round the coast. Typical specimens 

 of B. ovata are very abundant in some of Mr. Wright's material from 

 the south-west of Ireland.
