Tonga Islands; Mokaujar Anchorage, Fiji Islands; and from Ron- 

 gelap Atoll, Marshall Islands. There is also a typical specimen from 

 Albatross Station H3930, off Anu Anuraro Atoll, Paumotus, 438 

 fathoms, evidently a specimen carried out into deep water, as the 

 station is only three-fourths of a mile offshore. 



TEXTULARIA CORRUGATA Heron-Allen and Earland 



Plate 3, Figures 2, 4 



Textularia conica d'Orbigny var. corrugata Hekon- Allen and Earland, Trans. 

 Zool. Soc. London, vol. 20, p. 629, pi. 47, figs. 24-27, 1915. 



Test short and broad, nearly as broad as long, oval in end view; 

 chambers very distinct, much excavated toward the base, low and 

 broad; sutures deep, usually curved upward in the middle, thence 

 rather sharply downward toward the periphery; wall arenaceous, 

 fine, of rounded particles with considerable cement giving it a smooth 

 finish. Length and breadth, up to 1 mm. ; thickness, 0.65-0.75 mm. 



Heron-Allen and Earland described this species from Kerimba 

 Archipelago off southeast Africa as a variety of Textularia conica. 

 While the two forms occur together occasionally in our material they 

 seem to be very distinct. This species is widely distributed, occur- 

 ring off the Fiji Islands in 40 to 50 fathoms, off Rongelap Atoll, 

 Marshall Islands, and Guam Anchorage, Ladrone Islands, in 21 

 fathoms.

 Textularia albatrossi Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 104, pt. 3, p. 14, pi. 2, 



figs. 5, 6, 1922. 



Test elongate, much tapering, apical end bluntly pointed, apertural 

 end broadly angled, in the later portion the breadth nearly equal 

 to the thickness, concave at each side in the middle, periphery con- 

 vex; chambers distinct, the last ones much inflated, low and broad, 

 each with a reentrant portion near the central part at each side; 

 sutures distinct, depressed ; wall coarsely arenaceous, rather smoothly 

 finished, especially in the later portion ; aperture a long, narrow slit 

 above the base of the chamber, with a slight lip ; color gray. Length, 

 0.9 mm. ; breadth, 0.55 mm. ; thickness, 0.4 mm. 



Previous records of this species are from the Atlantic, where it 

 occurs at a depth of 382 fathoms in the western part of the Carib- 

 bean Sea. The single specimen figured here is the only one that 

 occurs in our material, and is from Albatross Station H3858, Ngaruae 

 Pass, Fakarava Atoll, Paumotus, in 599 fathoms.
