Togopi sample NB 9449. x80. station 5, blue ooze, Malay Archipelago, x 120. Showing variation in shape and 35-37, ZF3823-ZF3825. Recent, Although Millett's figured syntype cannot be recognized we have examined his residues from the Malay Archipelago and find that this species is common in the blue ooze at station 5 (Durrand 1898). Figs 35-37 show some typical specimens from this locality, while Figs 29-34 illustrate the range of variation in Togopi sample NB 9449. It is clear that the delicately 'setose' form figured by Millett (1901a) is rare and susceptible to damage; usually the rounded end of the test is orna- mented by short costae or minute wings as in Lagena oceanica Albani. As Albani (1974) rightly states, this form has often been wrongly referred to L. perlucida. He therefore erected a new species, L. oceanica, without apparently realizing that a valid taxon already existed. Distribution. Fossil: Pliocene of Japan (Asano 1951e). Recent: Hong Kong (Brady 1884), the Malay Archipelago (Millett 1901a), Fiji (Cushman 1933), the Philippines (Graham & Militante 1959), south-west coast of India (Antony 1968) and New South Wales, Australia (Albani 1974)..
