It is a beautifully decorated form, only found hitherto in coral-sand dredged off Raine 
Island, 155 fathoms. 
Lagena squamoso-marginata, Parker and Jones (PL LX. fig. 24). 
Lagena squamoso-marginata, Parker and Jones, 1865, Phi], Trans., vol. civ. p. 356, pi. xviii. 
fig. 2, a.b. 
The test of Lagena squamoso-marginata is pyriform in outline, compressed and 
biconvex, the peripheral edge acute or carinate, and the surface hexagonally areolated 
The species occurs at three points in the North Atlantic, the depths varying from 422 
fathoms to 816 fathoms; on the Australian coral-reefs; and on the west coast of New 
Zealand, 1100 fathoms. 
In the fossil state it has been found in the Middle Tertiaries of San Domingo (Parker 
and Jones), and in the Pliocene of Southern Italy (Seguenza). 
Lagena squamoso-alata, H. B. Brady (PI. LX. fig. 23). 
Lagena squamoso-alata, Brady, 1881, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. xxi., N. S., p. 61. 
The test of this variety resembles that of Lagena squamoso-marginata, with the 
addition of a raised reticulated border, and a broad tapering wing with radiate 
markings. 
Lagena squamoso-alata has been met with at three “ Porcupine ” Stations in the 
North Atlantic, west of Ireland, at depths of 173 fathoms, 630 fathoms, and 1445 fathoms 
respectively. 
Lagena radiato-marginata, Parker and Jones (PI. LXI. figs. 8, 9). 
Lagena radiato-marginata, Parker and Jones, 1865, Phil. Trans., vol. civ. p. 355, pi. xviii. 
fig. 3, a.b. 
This elegant species differs from most of its congeners in the nature of the ornamental 
markings of the test. In the original description (Joe. cit.) it is stated that “ the pseudo- 
podia begin to enter the shell-wall near the centre, and then burrow radially to escape 
near the margin; the shell-surface being perfectly smooth and as polished as glass.” 
The glassy smoothness of the exterior is generally a conspicuous feature of the shell, but 
in some instances the striae have more the appearance of corrugations of the. inner surface 
of the wall than of actual tubulation. 
The Challenger collections yield specimens of Lagena radiato-marginata from Nares 
Harbour, Admiralty Islands, 37 fathoms, and from Raine Island, Torres Strait, 155 
fathoms ; and those described by Parker and Jones were from the Australian coral- 
reefs.
