rOEAMINIPEEA OF THE KERIMBA ARCHIPELAGO. 



597 



Such forms are abundant in the Kerimba dredgings, as in many tropical gatherings all 

 round the world. Their association (by Brady) with the Nautilus lituus of Gmelin is 

 based entirely upon a supposition that the objects thus figured are fragments of an 

 organism of which the initial spiral portion (a feature especially insisted upon by 

 Gmelin in the definition of N. lituus) had become broken away. 



Now Gmelin identifies N. lituus with certain previously published figures in the 



Test-figure 43.
