AND OSTRACODA COLLECTED ROUND FUNAFUTI. 415 



UVIGERINA ASPERULA, Czjzek. 



The greatest depths o£ the earlier records of this common and widely- 

 distributed species fall somewhat short of the present deepest limit, Brady 

 having obtained it from the Southern Ocean at 2600 fathoms. 



Occurrence.— ^t2i. 3, 2715 fms. ; 4, 2728 fms. ; 10, 1485 fms. ; 11, 1417 

 fms. ; 13, 1050 fms. ; 20, 1215 fms. ; 45, 2107 fms. ; 48, 2298 fms. ; 

 105, 2400 fms. 



UviGERiNA ASPERULA, Czjzeh, var. AMPULLACEA, Brady, 



It is remarkable that this variety has never before been recorded from very 



deep water. Brady gives the limits of depth as 350 to 725 fathoms. 



Dr. Egger found it off the Mauritius at 411 metres, and off Western 



Australia at 1 187 metres. 



Occurrence.— ^i^. 2, 1489 fms. ; 4, 2728 fms. ; 13, 1050 fms. ; 20, 1215 



fms. ; 45, 2107 fms. ; 48, 2298 fms. ; 105, 2400 fms. 



UVIGEEINA INTERRUPTA, Brady. 



The above species is usually observed at moderate depths, the only deep- 

 water occurrence noted by Brady was N. of Juan Fernandez at 1375 fathoms. 

 Occurrence. — Sta. 3, 2715 fms. 



Genus Sagraina, Orh., emend. Parker Sf Jones. 



Sagraina bifrons, Brady. 



For this rare form only four localities are known, viz. : S. of Japan, 

 345 fathoms ; off Western Australia, 560 fathoms ; the Malay Archipelago 

 from shallow water ; and the present occurrence W. of Funafuti. 



Occurrence. — Sta. 105, 2400 fms. 



Sagraina virgula, Brady. 



Occurrence.— ^i^. 10, 1485 fms. ; 13, 1050 fms. ; 48, 2298 fms. 



Sagraina raphanus, Parker Sf Jones. 



Our specimens are typical in every respect. It is remarkable that the 

 present occurrences are mainly from much greater depths than previously 

 known, the maximum of which was 260 fathoms. 



Occurrence.— ^i2i. 3, 2715 fms. ; 4, 2728 fms. ; 45, 2107 fms. ; 48, 2298 

 fms. ; 68, 1143 fms. ; 83, 1340 fms. ; 105, 2400 fms. ; 109, 604 fms.
