FROM THE LAGOON AT FUNAFUTI. 169 
Nvusecunaria Brapyi, Millett. (Pl. 19. fig. 3.) 
Nubecularia inflata, Brady, 1884, Rep. Chall. p. 135, pl. i. figs. 5-8. 
N. Bradyi (N. inflata preoccupied), Millett, 1898, Journ. R. Micr. 
Soc. p. 261, pl. v. figs. 6 a, 6. 
This species usually occurs in quite shallow water. It was 
obtained by the ‘ Challenger’ off Honolulu, Sandwich Islands ; 
off Tongatabu ; off Tahiti; Nares Harbour, Admiralty Islands; 
and Balfour Bay, Kerguelen Island. It is common in the 
Greek Archipelago, and Millett found it in the Malay Archi- 
pelago. Our specimens do not show the fistulose or spouted 
tendeney which the aperture assumes, shown in the specimens 
figured by Brady and Millett. 
Lagoon, Funafuti; very rare. Sample 1 (10 fathoms); sample 
18 (74 fathoms). 
NUBECULARIA LACUNENSIS, sp. nov. (PI. 19. fig. 2.) 
Test porcellanous, free, or (?) attached ; consisting of a series 
of compressed and concave segments somewhat cuspid at the 
peripheral margin, and arranged in an obscurely rotaline manner. 
Superior face conical, depressed ; inferior, flat. Diameter °55 
millim. 
Lagoon, Funafuti; very rare. Sample 18 (73 fathoms). 
Subfamily MILIOLININ&#. 
Britocuttna, d’ Orbigny [1826]. 
BILOCULINA OBLONGA, @ Orbigny. 
Biloculina oblonga, d’Orbigny, 1839, in Sagra’s Cuba, Foram. p. 165, 
pl. viii. figs. 21-23. 
This species has the aboral end considerably swollen, and the 
inverted aperture of the penultimate chamber very apparent, 
thus differing from B. elongata, d’ Orbigny, which is more regularly 
oval. D’Orbigny’s specimens came from the neighbourhood of 
the Cuban coral-reefs. 
Lagoon, Funafuti; very rare. Sample 8 (26 fathoms) ; sample 
18 (73 fathoms). 
BILOCULINA SUBSPH ERICA, @ Orbigny. 
Biloculina subspherica, @Orbigny, 1839, in Sagra’s Cuba, Foram. p. 162, 
pl. viii. figs. 25-27.
