402 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON DEEP-SEA FORAMINIFERA 



Textularia gramen, Orh. 



These are all small specimens. 



Occurrence.— ^ia. 3, 271.5 £ms. ; 11, 1427 fms. 



Textularia gibbosa, Orh. 



It is curious to note this species, hitherto confined to shore-samls, in water 

 of so great a depth as recorded below. As a fossil species also, it occurs, 

 perhaps without exception, in undoubted shallow-water deposits. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 11, 1417 fms. 



Genus Verneuilina, Orh. 

 Verneuilina spinulosa, Reuss. 

 Occurrence. — Sta. 55, 507 fms. ; 109, 604 fms. 



Verneuilina pygm^a, Egger. 



Occurrence.— ^isi. 3, 2715 fms.; 48, 2298 fms.; 105, 2400 fms.; 142, 

 2435 fms. 



YerneuiliNxV propinqua, Brady. 



Two examples of this handsome form were found. It has hitherto been 

 recorded from the S. Pacific from one locality only, at 610 fathoms. 

 Occurrence. — Sta. 13, 1050 fms. 



Genus Tritaxia, Reuss. 



Tritaxia lepida, Brady. 



A single typical example of this rare form occurs here. Dr. Brady notes 

 it from one locality only, off the coast of N, America, at 1240 fathoms, and 

 Mr, Millett states that he found several specimens in the Torres Strait material 

 from 155 fathoms, and a single example from the Malay Archipelago. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 48, 2298 fms. 



Genus Spiroplecta, Elirenherg. 

 Spiroplecta AMERICANA, Elirenherg. 



This species has hitherto been known in the living condition from Raines 

 Islet, Torres Strait. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 3, 2715 fms. 



Spiroplecta sagittula, Defrance, sp. 



A very minute hyaline variety occurs in some abundance.
