FORAMINIFERA OF THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 147 



Sub-family NODOSARINA 

 Genus NODOSARIA, Lamarck. 



Nodosaria roemeri, Neugeboren. 



This variety was obtained (rare) at Stations 342 and 346. N. roemeri is by no 

 means a common form ; I have collected this species in the warm area of the Faroe 

 Channel. 



Nodosaria perversa, Schwager. 



Obtained (rare) at Station 342. This species has only been recorded hitherto from 

 off the Ki Islands, south-west of Papua, in 120 fathoms. 



Nodosaria calomorpha, Reuss. 



Obtained at Stations 118 (rare) and 459 (rare). This minute species has been 

 collected from the North Atlantic, in 1215 fathoms; the South Atlantic, 1990 and 

 2200 fathoms; off the Falkland Islands, in 6 fathoms; off Kerguelen, 120 fathoms; 

 off Ki Islands, 129 to 580 fathoms ; and in 95 fathoms off the Philippine Islands. 



Nodosaria mucronata, Neugeboren. 



A moderately common form in the North Atlantic, and off the British coast, from 

 shallow water to 1750 fathoms; in the South Atlantic, to 2350 fathoms; and in the 

 Pacific Ocean, from 345 to 2600 fathoms. I have found this species (rare) at Stations 

 417 and 467 ; these are the most southerly records known for N. mucronata. 



Nodosaria consobrina, var. emaciata, Reuss. 



Obtained (rare) at Station 467. I have taken this species in the warm area of the 

 Faroe Channel. 



Nodosaria scalaris, var. separans, H. B. Brady. 



Several specimens of this variety were obtained at Station 346, 56 fathoms. This 

 is a common form off the coast of New Zealand, in 275 fathoms. 



Nodosaria proxima, Silvestri. 



Obtained (rare) at Station 346. N. proxima appears to prefer the warmer waters 

 of the coral seas. BRADY records it from Torres Straits, in 155 fathoms; off the 

 Philippines, 95 fathoms ; off the reefs at Honolulu, 40 fathoms ; and off the Azores, in 

 450 fathoms. 



Nodosaria setosa, Schwager. 



Found (rare) at Station 346.
