Bairdia tenera, G. 8. Brady, 1886, Journ. Linn. Soe. (Zool.), vol. xix. 
p. 304, pl. xxxix, figs. 18-15; id. 1895, Trans, Roy. Soc. Edinb.

The original specimens of the above form were obtained from 
Ceylon, and Dr. Brady subsequently obtained others from Samoa. 
At Funafuti B. tenera occurred only in one dredging, off 
Tutanga at 200 fathoms.

This was lately recorded by Dr. Brady from Taviuni, Fiji, 
between tide-marks. 1t occurs in one sample only at Funafuti, 
in the first boring in the Atoll, near the surface (Sollas coll.).

Typical examples of this form were found im the lagoon 
dredgings at Funafuti (David coll.), as follows :— 
Sample uo. 10, 5 miles from the Mission Church, 20 fathoms ; 
sample no. 14, 7 miles from the Mission Ch., 26 fathoms.

This form is rather difficult to separate from B. foveolata, and 
appears to bear out Dr. Brady’s conclusion that they may be 
merely varieties of the same species. ‘he dorsal areais generally 
more tumid in this form. It has been recorded, among other 
localities, from Nouméa, New Caledonia, from Fiji and Samoa. 
At Funafuti it is a frequent and well-distributed form ; 
occurring in the sand of the first boring near the surface; the 
beach-sand, Avalau Islet; the lagoon beach at Fuafala; and 
the lagoon dredgings, Rocky Islet (Sollas coll.).. Also from the 
dredgings across the lagoon, sample no. 1, 3 mile from the 
Mission Church, 10 fathoms; sample no. 17, 83 miles from 
the Mission Ch., 12 fathoms; sample no. 18, 9 miles from 
the Mission Ch., 74 fathoms; from Funamanu, 150 fathoms;
