FROM THE FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 7 
secondarily attached itself a little beyond the middle of the test 
to anechinoderm spine. This specimen came from Funamanu Id. 
(Beacon Id.) at 150 fathoms. H. Torresiensis was also found in 
the material from the boring in the lagoon at Funafuti. The 
specimens are of average size. 
In the dredgings made by Prof. David and Mr. Finckh, I have 
found H. Torresiensis as follows :— 
N. of Pava, 35 fathoms ; a young individual. 
Funamanu Id. (Beacon Id.), 150 fathoms; the large specimen 
previously mentioned. 
Tutanga, 200 fathoms (dredged by Messrs. Halligan and 
Finckh); rather small examples. 
S. of Fuafatu, 25 fathoms; a young individual. 
S. of Fuafatu, 60 fathoms; a young example attached to 
Cycloclypeus Carpentert (form B). 
S. of Fuafatu, 30-120 fathoms; a much contorted example. 
S. of Fuafatu, 119 fathoms; very common on a fragment of 
Millepore. 
“To” S. of Fuafatu, 40 fathoms, bottom fairly hard; a neat 
specimen torn off the rock. 
“To” S. of Fuafatu, 60 fathoms ; a neat specimen. 
S.S.W. of Fuafutu, 60 fathoms; common on coral rocks. 
Two specimens were also obtained from the lagoon-boring at 
354 feet and at 814 feet below the lagoon-floor.

“Test adherent, depressed ; consisting of a number of closely- 
approximated chambers, arranged more or less regularly in a 
single, simple or branched, linear series, and intercommunicating 
by a row of pools on each septal face. Segments very short (on 
the axis of growth) and broad ; curved or irregular in outline; 
subdivided more or less completely by numerous secondary septa. 
Walls rough externally, interior surface smooth. Aperture 
porous. Diameter of the adherent patches 1 inch (4 mm.) or 
more.” * 
The above species was well and minutely described by 
* Brady, op. cit. pp. 319, 320.
