386 MR. F. CHAPMAN ON THE 
Tinoporus BacuLAtus (Montfort), var. FLORESCENS, nov. 
(Pl. 36. fig. 4.) 
This variety has its distinguishing feature in the curious 
dehiscent or florescent terminations of the spurs of the test. 
This is proved by thin sections to be formed by the redundant 
overgrowth of the acervuline or compressed outer layers of cham- 
berlets upon the intermediate shell-growth forming the spurs. 
This overgrowth is very thin, and covering the spurs forms a 
recurved edge around their extremities. Occurs at Avalau 
Islet. 
Ill. Foramtnirera from the Lacoon-Beacues, FUNAFUTI. 
Two samples of the foraminiferal sand of the lagoon-beaches 
are noticed here, with the species of foraminifera found therein. 
One is from Funafuti Island (Fongafale I.), collected by 
Prof. Sollas in 1896; the other from the S.E. of the Atoll at 
Funafala Islet, collected by Messrs. Halligan and Finckh in 
1898. 
The dredgings taken across the lagoon commencing off Fonga- 
fale at a depth of 10 fathoms have been microscopically examined 
for foraminifera and already reported upon *.
