Report on Foraminifera. By F. W. Millett. 
‘Report on the Foraminifera, 5 * * * § nor in the ‘Summary of the 
Scientific Results ’ by Dr. John Murray ,t is there to be found any 
detailed list of the Foraminifera of these stations. This is the more 
to be regretted, as a comparison of the deep-water forms of the 
4 Challenger 5 dredgings with the shallow-water forms of Mr. Durrand’s 
collection would have been of great interest. 
Of other researches in this region the following may be noted. 
In 1863, Hartingt described and figured a few species of Forami- 
nifera from a deep-sea sounding in the Banda Sea. 
In 1872, F. W. 0. Rymer Jones § reported on some interesting 
Lagense from a sounding (1080 fathoms) in the Java Seas, and 
alluded to some other genera of Foraminifera which accompanied 
them. 
Ehrenberg has several scattered notes on Foraminifera from 
Singapore, Batavia, and other localities in or adjoining the Malay 
Archipelago. 
In 1881, || Prof. Otto Btitschli, in describing the geographical dis- 
tribution of the Foraminifera, devotes a column of the table to the 
Malay Archipelago. Unfortunately the species are there represented 
only by numerals ; but Prof. Btitschli has with great kindness allowed 
me the use of his manuscript notes which contain the key to these 
numerals, and I am therefore in a position to make use of the list. 
About ten years ago Mr. W. H. Harris, then of Cardiff, obtained 
from the late Capt. Seabrook some dredgings from the Java Seas. 
These were distributed among various rhizopodists, and excited much 
interest from the number of remarkable forms contained in them. It 
was from these dredgings that Mr. Harris procured the specimens of 
the new genus Seabrookia which forms the subject of a paper by the 
late Dr. H. B. Brady, published in this Journal in the year 189(3. 
In 1893 appeared Dr. J. E. Egger’s report on the Foraminifera 
contained in the soundings made by the German exploring ship 
‘ Gazelle. 5 Some of the sounding stations were in or about Mr. 
Durrand’s Area 1, and the results, as tabulated by Dr. Egger, are avail- 
able for comparison. 
To economise space it has been deemed inexpedient to give the 
full synonymy of each species. This has been so fully dealt with of 
late years by Goes, Brady, Rupert Jones, Fornasini, de Amicis, and 
others, in works easily accessible, that it will suffice here to give only
