TROPICAL PACIFIC FORAMUSIIFERA OF "ALBATROSS" 11 



Test small, fusiform, often somewhat curved, broadest near the 

 middle, rounded at the apertural end, pointed at the initial end; 

 chambers indistinct; sutures indistinct, occasionally showing slightly 

 between the costae, slightly depressed; wall of last chamber smooth, 

 rather coarsely perforate, remainder of test ornamented by ten or 

 eleven regular, platelike costae, continuous throughout; aperture 

 small, loop-shaped, at the apex of the test. Length (of figured 

 specimen), 0.40 mm.; diameter, 0.20 mm. 



The types are from the Recent, Ki Islands, in 428 fathoms. The 

 species is found in both the north and south Pacific. In our material 

 it occurred at Albatross station H3900, midway between Hikueru and 

 Marokau, in 1,620 fathoms.

Variety difFermg from the typical in having well-developed spines 

 at the base of the test, varying in length and number. 



This variety is represented in the Albatross material only from 

 H3977, southeast point of Elmore Atoll, N. 30°, 9 miles west, in 1,283 

 fathoms, at 35.9° F., crs. glob. oz. Its absence from the shallow-water 

 stations is not to be wondered at, as the records of living specimens of 

 this variety are mostly in either cool or deep waters. It is very rare 

 at this station.
