6 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON FORAMINIFERRA 
Sagenina frondescens is a well-distributed organism around 
Funafuti and in the lagoon. In places it is quite abundant. 
In the dredgings made by Prof. David and Mr. Finckh this species: 
was found as follows :— 
N. of Pava, 36 fathoms. 
Funamanu (Beacon Id.), 150 fathoms ; very fine examples. 
Tutanga, 200 fathoms (Halligan and Finckh Coll.), occasional. 
8. of Funafuti, 30-120 fathoms. 
“To” S. of Funafuti, 60 fathoms, common on Cycloclypeus and 
Halimeda. 
In the lagoon boring it was found at the surface of the lagoon- 
floor; very rare. 
At 213 feet below floor ; very common, and fine examples. 
At 50 feet; frequent. 
At 62 feet; common. 
At 814 feet; very rare. 
Family LITUOLIDA.

This interesting genus, although but lately discovered in 
material from Torres Strait, has already been found in great 
abundance both around Funafuti and in the lagoon. 
The large series of specimens now before us shows to some 
extent the great variety of forms exhibited by this organism. In 
the first stages of its growth Haddonia is depressed and repent, 
having a coiled series at the commencement or a simple linear- 
shaped arrangement of segments; in the latter case it somewhat 
resembles Bdelloidina, to which it probably bears some relation- 
ship. The test afterwards grows off the surface of attachment, still 
retaining its point d’ apput, often continuing in a very erratic line 
of growth, and sometimes forming several bends and twists nearly 
at right angles, in one instance curiously resembling a larva of 
the Geometrine Lepidoptera when feeling the air for a fresh 
foothold. 
The largest specimen met with measures over 3 inch (about 
16 mm.) in length, and was only slightly attached by the 
aboral end, coming away in the dredge. The organism has
