uormal size and development. At many of the Stns., especially Stns. 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, 

 1 X, and 1 B, some of the specimens were faintly hispid all over, the best examples 

 being at 1 B.

This limbate form occurs in company with the type at six Stns. The bulk of the 

 specimens are not strongly limbate, but at Stns. 12 a and 12 some large and abnormally 

 strongly marked tests were obtained.

Universally distributed and quite one of the typical Kerimba species, attaining very 

 fine proportions at Stns. 7, 9, and 11. The species exhibits a considerable amount of 

 variation within certain limits, due principally to the degree of inflation of the chambers 

 and the consequent suppression of the acute marginal edges. This in advanced 

 specimens gives a strongly crispate appearance to the edge view, almost as marked as 

 in T. crispata Brady, of which this species may be regarded as a hyaline isomorph.

Large and typical specimens at Stn. 11, and one broken but typical example at Stn. 3. 

 This very distinctive species appears to be of extremely local distribution, the records 

 of its occurrence being apparently hitherto confined to Raine Island, Torres Straits.
