TROPICAL PACIFIC FORAMENIFERA OF "ALBATROSS" 5 



man). In addition to the above localities the species has occurred 

 at several Albatross stations, data for which are given in table 3. 

 It has also been found to be common in shallow water at the following 

 stations about the Fiji Islands: Off Nairai, 12 and 24 fathoms; off 

 Levuka, 12 fathoms; and Mokaujar Anchorage. There are also abun- 

 dant specimens from Makemo Lagoon, Paumotu Islands. It seems 

 strange that the species should be absent from the shoal-water collec- 

 tions of some of the other regions that are represented by material, 

 such as the Marshall Islands and Ladrone Islands, 



BOLIVINELLA FOLIA (Parker and Jones) var. ORNATA Coshman

 Lab. Foram. Res., vol. 5, p. 32, pi. 5, figs. 3, 4, 1929. 



Test somewhat similar to the typical form but the apertural end 

 much more convex, typically with a large stout spine at either side, 

 the sutures broadly limbate and raised throughout into a fine beaded 

 ornamentation, the median line slightly raised but not markedly so. 



This variety was originally described from the shore sand of Hard- 

 wicke Bay, Australia. There is a single specimen in our collections 

 from 12 fathoms off Levuka, Fiji, and it has not occurred elsewhere.

 p. 33, pi. 5, fig. 5, 1929. 



Test elongate, whole test very gradually broadening as chambers 

 are added, sides usually irregularly indented and with irregular 

 spinose projections of small size or wanting; chambers gently curved, 

 the last one slightly sigmoid; sutures hmbate, slightly raised, the 

 earlier ones only shghtly curved, later ones tending to become sig- 

 moid and irregularly beaded, median line with a very slightly chan- 

 neled ridge. Length, 0.40 mm.; breadth, 0.20 mm. 



This species was described from the Miocene of France, the fauna 

 of which is related in many ways to the present Indo-Pacific fauna. 

 It is, therefore, not surprising that a typical specimen, which is here 

 figured, appears in the material from Rutavu.
