AND OSTRACODA COLLECTED ROUND FUNAFUTI. 399 



Genus Planispirina, Seguenza. 

 Planispirina sph^ra, Orh., sp. 



This species occurs only at one depth in this area, and the shells are all of 

 small size. Dr. Brady states that it is rare at depths greater than 1000 

 fathoms. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 13, 1050 £ms. 



Genus CoRNUSPiRA, Scliultze. 



CoRNUSPiRA crassisepta, Brady. 



Cornuspira crassisepta, Brady ('84), p. 202, pi. 113. fig. 20; Chapman ('07), p. 22, pi. 2. 

 fig. 45. 



It is extremely interesting to note the occurrence of an example of this 

 species from Funafuti, since it has been found previously only in one locality, 

 viz. the Fseroe Channel, in the ^' warm area,'" at a depth of 530 fathoms. 

 This species, by the way, is the commonest of the Cornuspirce in the Australian 

 Tertiary deposits in the neighbourhood of Melbourne and elsewhere in 

 Victoria. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 13, 1050 fms. 



Genus Orbitolites, Lamarck. 

 Orbitolites complanata. Lam., sp. 



A fragment only, somewhat worn and iron-stained, occurs here. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 78, 1570 fms. 



Orbitolites marginalis, Lam. 



A fragment of a test, somewhat iron-stained, and having the appearance of 

 being derived. This and the previous species are usuallv of moderately 

 shallow-water habitat, and the present occurrence looks open to the suspicion 

 that some accidental mixing of samples has taken place. The utmost care 

 has been exercised, however, during the present examination. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 78, 1570 fms.
