This very variable species is almost universally distributed and often very common. 

 At most of the Stns. the specimens are of the smooth typical form, but agglutinate 

 tests were found at Stn. 1, feebly striate at Stn. 2 «, and a single punctate specimen 

 at Stn. 7. These varieties have been admirably ^figured and described by Millett 

 {loG. cit. ut supra).

12 Stations. 



Generally distributed and often common, especially at Stns. 1, 3, 4, and 6. The 

 specimens exhibit very little variation, except in the strength of their markings. 

 Records of the species appear to be few : Brady gives Eaine Island and Mauritius, but 

 we have specimens from Havana and from the Great Barrier Reef, so that it is 

 probably widely distributed in tropical shallow waters. 



47. Miliolina flinaflltiensis Chapman. (Pi. XLII. figs. 21, 22.) 



Miliolina funafutiensis Chapman, 1900, FLF. p. 178, pi. xix. fig. 6.

1 Station. 



A single specimen from Stn. 11, which we figure, suggests this species, but differs 

 in some particulars from Chapman's description. It is nearly oval in section 

 instead of triangular, but resembles the type in the character of its oblique markings 

 and produced aperture. Chapman's types were from the Lagoon at Funafuti 

 (7^-12 fms.) and Cocos Keeling Atoll (outside the reef). The species is common and 

 typical in a dredging from Apia Harbour, Samoa (7 fms.).
