Pullenia sphasroides (d'Orbigny). 



This cosmopolitan species was obtained (sparingly) from Stations 342, 420, 421, 

 447, 459, 467. 



Pullenia ohliquiloculata, Parker and Jones. 



This species was found (rare) at Stations 447, 451, 459, and 467. P. ohliquiloculata 

 is found in all the deep-sea deposits, but attains its fullest development in the tropical 

 and subtropical waters of mid-ocean. It has a comparatively wide distribution, but 

 the Scotia records are the most southerly from which it has been collected. 



Family ROTALID^. 



Sub-family SPIRILLININ^. 



Genus Spirillina, Ehrenberg. 



Spirillina ohconica, H. B. Brady. 



This pretty little species was found at Station 346, 56 fathoms, in moderate numbers. 

 S. ohconica has hitherto been collected at three other localities only : off Prince 

 Edward Island, 50 to 150 fathoms; in Christmas Harbour, Kerguelen, 120 fathoms; and 

 in Nares Harbour, Admiralty Islands, 17 fathoms. 



Spirillina tuberculata, H. B. Brady. 



A few specimens of this species were obtained at Station 346. Like the former 

 species, S. tuberculata appears to flourish best in the Southern Ocean. I have collected 

 it in the Faroe Channel ; it is also recorded from one or two points oflf the British coast. 



Sub-family ROTALIN^. 



Genus Patellina, Williamson. 

 Patellina corrugata, Williamson. 



Obtained (rare) at Station 346, 56 fathoms. This species has been found as far 

 as lat. 83° 19' N., in 72 fathoms, and as far south as off Heard Island, 150 fathoms. I 

 have taken it in the cold area of the Faroe Channel, in 365 fathoms. 



Genus Discorbina, Parker and Jones. 

 Discorhina orbicularis (Terquem). 

 Found moderately common at Station 346, 56 fathoms.
