of species and varieties, consequently it would not be wise to ignore it 
entirely. 
Textularia jugosa was observed at only one ‘Challenger’ Station, 
off Raine Island, Torres Strait, but Brady quotes other localities where 
it has been found. The solitary ‘Gazelle’ Station is West Australia. 
In the Malay Archipelago it is more rare than the non-limbate form. 
Textularia quadrilatera Sch wager, plate VII. fig. 3.

vpl. ii. p. 253, pi. vii. fig. 10 . T. quadrilatera (Schwager) Brady,

The group of Textularise with abnormal apertures and other- 
features indicating an affinity with the Bodvinse is well represented 
in Mr. Durrand’s collection, and affords opportunities of comparison 
which should prove of value to Rhizopodists. Prof. T. Rupert Jone 3 
in his ‘ Catalogue of the Fossil Foraminifera in the collection of the 
British Museum, 1882,’ assigns the Textularia obsoleta of Eley to the 
genus Bolivina , and it is very doubtful if this species can be distin- 
guished from T. quadrilatera. 
In the Malay iVrchipelago this distinctly hyaline form is very rare, 
and has been observed only at Station 30. 
It is recorded from several ‘ Challenger ’ Stations, both in the 
Atlantic and in the Pacific. As a fossil it occurs in the Pliocene of 
Kar Nicobar, and in the tertiary beds of St. Erth, Cornwall. To the 
kindness of Prof. Yokoyama I am indebted for some fine specimens 
from the tertiary of Hane, Prov. Tosa, in the Island of Sitkoku, 
Textularia rhomboidalis sp. n., plate VII. fig. 4. 
Test cuneiform, quadrilateral ; the peripheral oblique to the lateral 
faces, making the transverse section of the test rhomboidal ; sides 
slightly concave, margins rounded and lobulate, sutures curved and 
deeply excavated. Aperture an arched slit. Shell -substance hyal.ine 
and coarsely perforate. Length, 0*34 mm. 
The rhomboidal section and hyaline test will serve to distinguish 
this from any other species of Textularia A superficial resemblance 
to Verneuilina spinulosa may have caused it to be overlooked hitherto, 
as it is widely dispersed. It occurs at several of the Malay Stations 
in both areas. 1 have specimens from Raine Island (‘ Challenger ’ 
Station 185) and other localities in Torres Strait, and have examined 
fine examples from the .Egean Sea collected by C. H. Nevill, Esq.
