Notes:
Halkyard Foraminifera Cabinet 1. Only two specimens of this species were collected on Challenger - one from Raine Island, one near Booby Island. This one (Storm Bay) was sent to Brady some years before the reports were written (by Dr Greville of Edinburgh) but were included in the report (and figured) for comparison with those found on Challenger.
