REPOET ON THE FORAMINIFERA.

of Pernambuco, 350 fathoms; shore-sand, east coast of Madagascar; off Kandavu, Fiji 
Islands, 210 fathoms; off New Hebrides, 125 fathoms; Torres Strait, 3 to 11 fathoms; 
off Ki Islands, 129 fathoms ; and off the Philippines, 95 fathoms. 
Dr. Schwager’s specimens were from the Pliocene marl of Kar Nicobar ; and von 
Hantken’s Dimorphina elegans, which appears to be the same species, from the lower 
Clavulina- beds of Ofen, Hungary. I have also good examples from the Miocene deposits 
of Malta.

The Sagrina raphanus of Parker and Jones is represented by a stout cylindrical shell 
with rounded extremities, and with a few well-marked, parallel, longitudinal costae by way 
of surface-decoration — very similar in all respects to the specimens portrayed in figs. 21, 22. 
Shells of somewhat different contour, broad near the oral end and tapering to a point at the 
opposite extremity (figs. 23, 24), are frequently met with, and such specimens often attain 
comparatively large dimensions ; but their peculiarities appear to be the result of individual 
deviations from the typical mode of growth, and afford no ground for even varietal 
distinction. 
Sagrina raphanus is essentially a coral-reef Foraminifer. The following list of the 
localities at which it has been collected furnishes a general outline of its area of distribu- 
tion : — shore-sands, Bermuda, West Indies, Panama, and Madagascar; anchor-mud, Port 
Louis, Mauritius ; dredged sands, off Calpentyn, Ceylon, 2 fathoms, off Kerguelen Island, 
12 fathoms, off the Philippines, 95 fathoms, off Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, 40 fathoms ; 
and at fifteen Stations amongst the islands of the South Pacific, at depths ranging 
from 2 fathoms to 260 fathoms. 
Sagrina (?) tessellata, n. sp. (PI. LXXYI. figs. 17-19). 
Test cylindrical, arcuate, slightly tapering ; composed of a few (four or five) elongate, 
oval or subcylindrical segments, each a good deal larger than its predecessor, joined end 
to end. Surface areolated ; the arese, which are of elongate hexagonal form, disposed in 
regular, alternating, transverse lines. Aperture a central rounded orifice, with or without 
a sessile lip. Length, ^g-th inch (0'57 mm.). 
The foregoing provisional description is based upon two or three specimens of an 
exceedingly obscure organism, found in dredged sands from Nares Harbour, Admiralty 
Islands, 17 fathoms, and Paine Island, Torres Strait, 155 fathoms. The general appear-
