17 Stations. 



Universally distributed and generally very abundant, attaining exceptionally fine 

 proportions at Stns. 1, 3, 9, and 1 B. The specimens with spinous margins predominate. 

 At Stn. 7 some of the specimens are spinous all over the surface.

1 Station. 



A single specimen of the minute hyaline type figured by Millett and by our- 

 selves {ut supra). The Kerimba specimen has an aperture similar to the Clare Island 

 specimen and is therefore unlike the Malay example ; but the absence of this aperture 

 is not universal in the Malay seas, as we have specimens from Segaar in New Guinea 

 and the Sahul Bank in the Timor Sea, exactly resembling Millett's figure, but with 

 a small characteristic aperture. 



177. Verneuilina polystropha (Reuss).

10 Stations. 



Generally distributed, but never abundant, and none of the specimens attains a 

 large size. They are, as a rule, characterized by the comparative absence of ferruginous 

 cement.
