TROPICAL PACIFIC FORAMINIFERA OF "ALBATROSS" 33 



are three records for the species from the Albatross material in deeper 

 water, which are given in table 16. This seems to be identical with 

 Williamson's species, which occurs typically off the British Isles but 

 has been widely recorded elsewhere.

 State Geol. Survey Bull. 9, p. 84, pi. 12, figs. 6a, b, 1932.— Cushman and 

 Cahill, U. S. Geol. Surv. Prof. Paper 175A, p. 26, pi. 8, figs. 14a, b, 1933.—

Test minute, about 3 times as long as broad, much compressed, 

 periphery subacute, sides for the most part nearly parallel, initial end 

 tapering; chambers numerous, often 12 or more pairs in the adult 

 test, increasing somewhat in height as added, some of the earliest 

 ones being very low; sutures distinct, very slightly if at all depressed, 

 slightly limbate, rather strongly curved backward; wall smooth, fmely 

 perforate; aperture an elongate, somewhat comma-shaped opening; 

 in the median line of the apertural face. Length, 0.30-0.35 mm. 

 breadth, 0.15 mm.; thickness, 0.06-0.08 mm. 



This species has been known hitherto only from the Miocene of 

 America. The specimen here figured is from Makemo Lagoon, Pau- 

 motu Islands, and seems identical.

Bolivina abbreviata Cushman, Cushman Lab. Foram. Res. Special Publ. No. 9, 

 p. 143, pi. 18, figs. 34, 35, 1937. 



Test usually short and stout, 1}2-2H times as long as broad, some- 

 what compressed, periphery in end view broadly rounded, early portion 

 increasing rapidly in breadth, in the adult with the sides nearly 

 parallel; chambers distinct, early ones nearly 2-3 times as long as 

 broad, increasing in relative height, until, in the adult, the height and 

 breadth may be about equal, slightly if at all inflated; sutures distinct, 

 slightly limbate, usually slightly curved, forming an angle of 20°-35° 

 with the horizontal; wall smooth, rather coarsely perforate, the per- 

 forations tending to become arranged in definite lines; aperture nar- 

 row, elongate, opening at the inner edge of the last-formed chamber. 

 Length, 0.25-0.30 mm.; breadth, 0.15 mm.; thickness, 0.10 mm. 



The types of this species are from off Lord Howe Island in the 

 Pacific. It also is recorded from off Raine Island, Torres Straits, in 

 155 fathoms. Our figured specimen is longer than the other specimens
