Some very fine examples of this species occur in the lagoon 
dredgings. They vary very much in size, the diameter of the 
test ranging from ‘5 mm. to 3°5 mm. The smallest specimens 
came from the middle of the lagoon. 
Lagoon, Funafuti. Sample 1 (10 fathoms); sample 2 (15 
fathoms); sample 4 (23 fathoms); sample 6 (21 fathoms); 
sample 7 (24 fathoms); sample 11 (25 fathoms); sample 12 
(25 fathoms) ; sample 13 (26 fathoms); sample 14 (16 fathoms) ; 
sample 18 (73 fathoms).

The adherent forms of Gypsina are phenomenally numerous at 
Funafuti. To reduce the gradational series found there into 
something like order, and keeping in view some central type of 
structure, it seems convenient to group the more irregular and 
acervuline structured organisms under the name of G. inherens, 
reserving the regularly discoidal forms as varieties of the mound- 
like G. vesicularis, from which they graduate down to thin 
scale-like forms. 
Lagoon, Funafuti. Sample 1 (10 fathoms); sample 7 (24 
fathoms); sample 18 (26 fathoms); sample 14 (16 fathoms); 
sample 15 (19 fathoms); sample 16 (20 fathoms); sample 17 
(12 fathoms).

Orbitolina vesicularis, Parker & Jones, 1860, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.
