N. divaricata, Brady, Millett, 1898, Journ. R. Micr. Soc. p. 261, pl. v. 
fig. 4. 
This rare form has previously been recorded from Humboldt 
Bay, Papua; off Raine Island, Torres Strait; off Tongatabu, 
Friendly Islands ; and lately by Millett from three stations in 
the Malay Archipelago. Our specimen closely resembles that 
of the figure given by Millett, and it also shows the phialine 
termination of the aperture characteristic of this species. 
Lagoon, Funafuti; very rare. Sample 18 (73 fathoms). 
NUBECULARIA LUCIFUGA, Defrance.

N. lucifuga, Defrance, Millett, 1898, Journ. R. Micr. Soc. p, 261, 
pl. v. fig. 7. 
A rare form in tropical areas. Recorded from Tongatabu, 
Friendly Islands; Malay Archipelago, etc. It is represented 
at Funafuti chiefly by spirally-wound specimens, originally 
attached to other organisms. 
Lagoon, Funafuti; generally rare. Sample 1 (10 fathoms); 
sample 13 (26 fathoms) ; sample 17 (12 fathoms). 
* The synonymy of the species is here restricted chiefly to references 
subsequent to Brady’s ‘Challenger’ Report (1884).
