Genus PROTEONINA Williamson, 1858. 



PROTEONINA DIFFLLGIFOKMIS (H. B. Brady). 



Reopkax dijjlugiformis H. B. Brady, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. 19, 1879, p. 51, 

 pi. 4, figs. 3a, b; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 289, pi. 30, 

 figs. 2-4 (not ], 5). 



Proteonina difflxigiformis Rhumbler, Arch. Protistk., vol. 3, 1903, p. 245, figd. 

 80a, 6.— CusHMAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 1, 1910, p. 41, figs. 40, 41 (in 

 text); Bull. 104, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 1, 1918, p. 47, pi. 21, figs. 1, 2. 



The only stations at which this species occiuTed were Albatross 

 D5126, Sulu Sea, vicinity southern Panay, 742 fathoms (1,357 

 meters), bottom temperature 49.5° F. (9.7° C); D5300, 265 fathoms 

 (485 meters), China sea, vicinity southern Luzon, no bottom temper- 

 ature; and D5526, between Siquijor and Bohol Islands, 805 fathoms 

 (1,459 meters), bottom temperature 52.3° F. (11.2° C). 



As this material is typical it is very probable that the species 

 occurs more widely distributed, but is missing on account of the 

 lack of very fine material from most of the stations.

PROTEONINA FUSIFORMIS Williamson. 



Proteonina fusiformis Williamson, Recent Foraminifera of Great Britain, 1858, 

 p. 1, pi. 1, fig. 1.— Rhumbler, Arch. Protistk., vol. 3, 1903, p. 248, fig. 84 (in 

 text).— CusHMAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 1, 1910, p. 41, fig. 39 (in text). 



Reophax fiLsiformis H. B. Brady, Denkschr. Kongl. Akad. Wiss. Wien, vol. 43, 

 pt. 2, 1882, p. 99; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 290, pi. 30, 

 figs. 7-11. 



The only records for this species are two not cntu'ely typical 

 specimens from Albatross station D5551, Jolo Island. These have 

 the general form of the species and are composed of sand grains and 

 fine shell fragments. 



These specimens are not unlike those figured by Heron- Allen and 

 Earland,* which they refer to TTiurammina papillata.
