Challenger St. 149 D, Kerguelen, This specimen was found among unnamed material in Busk's collection. Description. Zooecia erect, straight-sided, rectangular distally, with a peg-like spine at each corner (Fig. 34 B). One small marginal spine (rarely two) frequently present on each side of distal half of opesia (absent in the figured zooecium). 1 The varietal name is not available for the new species as it is preoccupied by B. distans Hincks (1881). 15-2
