Nubecularia tibia Jones and Parker, plate Y. fig. 3. 
N ubeculaD'ia tibia Jones and Parker, 1860, Quart. Journ. Geol. 
Soc., vol. xvi. p. 455, pi. xx. figs. 48-51. N. tibia Brady, 1884, 
Chalk Kept., p. 135, pi. i. figs. 1-4. N. tibia Chapman, 1892, Quart. 
Journ. Geol. Soc., vol. xlviii. p. 516, pi. xy. fig. 1. 
The typical form is not numerously represented, and most of the 
Stations where it occurs are in Area 1. The figured specimen 
curiously resembles the restoration of the specimens as indicated by 
dotted lines in the figures given by Jones and Parker, loe. cit., pi. xx. 
figs. 50, 51.

Occurs in various forms, attached as well as free, but the spiral 
form is not represented. Most of the specimens are elongate, with a 
tendency to approach N. tibia. Egger has a somewhat similar form 
from near Kerguelen Island. The figured specimen (from Station 2) 
shows little signs of septation ; the shell is thick, and has agglutinated 
to it grains of sand and organic matter. The species is most plenti- 
ful in Area 1.

Nubecularia divaricata Brady, plate Y. fig. 4. 
Sagrina divaricata Brady, 1879, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. xix. 
n.s., p. 276, pi. viii. figs. 22-24. N. divaricata Brady, 1884, Chalk 
Kept., p. 136, pk lxxvi. figs. 11-15. 
This is a rare form, and has hitherto been recorded from only three 
‘Challenger’ Stations, viz. Humboldt Bay, Papua; off Kaine Island, 
Torres Strait ; and off Tongatabu, Friendly Islands. It occurs but 
very sparingly at Mr. Durrand’s Stations 2 and 14 in Area 1, and 
Station 22 in Area 2. 
Nubecularia Bradyi jnom. nov., plate Y. fig. 6 a, b. 
Nubecularia inflata Brady, 1884, Chalk Kept., p. 135, pk i. figs. 
5-8. 
Occurs in the normal form at several stations, mostly in Area 1. 
From my friend Mr. H. Sidebottom I have many specimens dredged 
by Mr. C. H. Nevill in the Gulf of iEgina, where it seems to be 
abundant ; and Mr. Nevill tells me it is common off the Island of 
Delos. Amongst published figures of fossil Foraminifera resembling 
this form, are N. novorossica type nodida Karrer and Sinzow,* and 
* Sitz. k. Akad. Wiss. Wien, vol. lxxiv. 1876, p. 281, pi. figs. 16-18.
