14 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON FORAMINIFERA 
found round Funafuti in a dredging made between 115 and 200 
fathoms. They are attached to corals as Synhelia? and Caryo- 
phyllia?, and to a mass of Serpula-tubes; on the latter they 
occur in great abundance (David Coll.). 
Tt also occurs in dredgiugs made by Messrs. Halligan and 
Finckh at Tutanga, 200 fathoms. C. balaniformis was also found 
in sand from the bore-hole, Funafuti, at 75 feet; rare (David 
Coll.).

This species, although so well-known, does not appear to have 
been found in any great abundance in the localities from which 
it has been previously recorded. The exceptionally fine speci- 
mens figured by Brady came from Zamboanga, Philippine Islands, 
at 102 fathoms; and he also records it from nine other localities, 
chiefly in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, at depths varying from 
40 to 1035 fathoms, and at the same time notes that these 
specimens are ‘for the most part of small size and not so well 
characterized.” 
Egger obtained this species from the coast of West Africa and 
the Mauritius. 
The test of this species is of considerable thickness, with 
smooth surfaces, unlike C. utricularis, and the fine tubuli are 
here and there relieved by coarser tubules, running parallel with 
them. 
The Funafuti specimens are in nearly all examples of a delicate 
yellowish- or salmon-pink tint. One specimen is coloured a 
delicate mauve. 
In the dredgings made by Prof. David and Mr. Finckh around 
Funafuti, I have found C. monticularis in the following :— 
Funamanu Id. (Beacon Id.), 80 fathoms ; one specimen. 
Tutanga, 86 fathoms ; one specimen. 
Tutanga, 135 fathoms; one specimen attached to a mollusean 
shell.
