FORAMINIFERA OF THE FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 397 
V. A Summary of the Foraminirera found at pepras from 
16-200 FraTHoms ROUND Funarumi, in dredgings made by 
Messrs. Hatniean and FIncku. 
In this table the results of the detailed examination of the 
sands obtaied during the latter part of the work of the 
Expedition, in 1898, are given. 
The columns are arranged in order of depth, the localities 
occupying a secondary place. The reason adduced for this is 
that in the case of Foraminifera from the loose sands found 
either in shallow or fairly deep water the temperature seems to 
be a more important factor than local surroundings; whereas 
in the ease of the reef samples the organisms are largely dependent 
upon environment. 
The dredgings include, besides Foraminifera, the following 
organisms—Calcareous Aloe ( Halimeda,Corallina, Lithothamnion, 
and other genera), Calcisponges and loose spicules, Aleyonarian 
spicules, Serpule and boring Annelides, Polyzoa, Ascidian 
spicules, Lamellibranchiate shells, Heteropods, Gasteropods, 
Pteropods, Echmodermal plates and spines, Ostracoda (chiefly 
Bairdia and Loxoconcha) and other Crustacea. 
In the annexed synopsis of species from the Funafuti Atol, 
for the sake of uniformity of treatment and in order to enable a 
comparison with the Synopsis given in my former paper (pp. 206- 
209 of the present volume), the following significations are 
used :—v.r.= very rare, r.=rare, f.=frequent, c. = common, 
v.c. = very common.
