FROM THE FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 13 
Funamanu Id. (Beacon Id.), 50 fathoms. 
Funamanu Id. (Beacon Id.), 80 fathoms ; a specimen of bright 
green colour attached to a gorgonid. 
Off Funamanu Id. (Beacon Id.), 150 fathoms; a specimen 
attached to Halimeda. 
Tutanga, 94 fathoms; the largest specimen found, measuring 
nearly half an inch at the base. This is attached to a 
cylindrical millepore. 
Near Tutanga, 136 fathoms. 
S. of Fuafatu, 60 fathoms; on Oycloclypeus Carpenteri. 
S.S.W. of Fuafatu, 60 fathoms; very abundant on a large 
coral fragment. 
S. of Fuafatu, 25 fathoms. (A depressed form very near one 
of Gray’s figures of C. balaniformis.) 
A single specimen of C. uwtricularis was also found in the sand 
pumped up (at no great depth) from the 1st boring (Sollas Coll.). 
In the deep boring (David Coll.) this species was found at 65 feet 
and at 70 feet.

The specific characters of C. balaniformis are perhaps difficult 
to define, since the original specimens of Gray appear to possess 
some of the characters of both C. monticularis and C. utricu- 
laris, Carter. However, the name may be retained for the small, 
balaniform, depressed, conical and usually smooth Carpenteri« 
often found clustering upon the stems of gorgonids and other 
objects of attachment, where the currents have more or less 
access to them. 
HKegger’s specimens were dredged off the coast of West Africa. 
Examples, which may be taken as typical of the species, were
