whether of the typical sort or of the variety with elongated neck, are from the Challenger 
Station 162, off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, 38 fathoms ; but it occurs also on 
the coral-reefs of the Sandwich Islands, 40 fathoms ; on the south coast of Papua, Flinders 
Passage, 7 fathoms ; and off Ascension Island, 7 fathoms. 
The original specimens were from the Upper Miocene of Lapugy, Austria.

p. 53, pi. v. fig. 10. 
Miliolina parkeri, Brady, 1881, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. xxi., N. S., p. 46. 
Test elongate, subtriangular, Quinqueloculine ; peripheral margins of the segments 
sharp, with a tendency to become carinate ; the surface of the chambers traversed by 
somewhat oblique transverse ridges or crenulations. Length, Aph inch (1*0 mm.). 
This form was figured by Prof. W. K. Parker in his paper on the Miliolitidae of the 
East Indian Seas ( loc . cit.), where it is simply characterised as a “ Quinqueloculina with 
oblique ridges,” and no distinctive name is given to it. 
Figure 14 (PI. VII.) represents a good average specimen ; but the shell occasionally 
takes a somewhat flatter shape, and in such cases the mouth is surrounded by a 
spreading phialine lip, like that of Articvlina. 
Miliolina. parkeri is essentially a coral-reef species. It occurs at seven Challenger 
Stations amongst the islands of the Pacific, and, with one exception (off Tahiti, 420 
fathoms), always in shallow w T ater. It has also been found in sand dredged off the 
Seychelles (E. P. Wright), off Java (Robertson), and in the Red Sea. 
Miliolina transversestriata, H. B. Brady (PL IV. fig. 6, a.b.c.). 
Miliolina transversestriata, Brady, 1881, Quart. Journ, Micr. Sci., vol. xxi., FT. S., p. 45. 
Test elongate, angular, Triloculine ; segments few, their peripheral margins sharp 
or subcarinate, obliquely set. Surface marked by regular, parallel, transverse or diagonal 
riblets. Length, Apli inch (0'5 mm.). 
This is a minute species, and one that may easily be overlooked. Hitherto it has 
only been met with in two localities — off Raine Island, Torres Strait, 155 fathoms, and 
in harbour-mud from Port Louis, Mauritius.
