TROPICAL PACIFIC FORAMINIFERA OF ALBATROSS 9 



than the usual run of specimens in the collection. In the early stages 

 the variety is usually distinguished by its greater thickness. 



Besides the type locality the variety occurs at Levuka, Fiji, 12 

 fathoms; Nairai, Fiji, 12 fathoms; Vavau Anchorage, Tonga Islands; 

 Rotonga, 7 fathoms; and Port Lotten, Kersail, Caroline Islands.

Test compressed, rather rapidly increasing in width, the periphery 

 rounded, especially in the later chambers; chambers numerous, con- 

 siderably overlapping so that all except the last two are much 

 broader than high from the exterior; sutures distinct, nearly hori- 

 zontal, depressed; wall finely arenaceous, very smoothly finished; 

 aperture at the inner margin of the chamber with a distinct, over- 

 hanging lip. Length, 0.8 mm.; breadth, 0.55-0.7 mm.; thickness, 

 0.3-0.35 mm. 



This species was originally described from the Philippines. Very 

 typical specimens of the broad form occur at Mokaujar Anchorage, 

 Fiji, and a single specimen, apparently the same, from Albatross 

 Station H3901, in 1,620 fathoms, off Marokau Island, Paumotus 

 (Tuamotu Archipelago).
