 Genus PULLENIA Parker and Jones, 1862. 



PULLENIA SPHAEROIDES (d'Orbigny). 



Nonionina sphaeroides d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 293, No. 1. 



Pullenia sphaeroides Parker and Jones, in Carpenter, Tarker, and Jones, Introd. 

 Foram., 1862, p. 184, pi. 12, fig. 12.— H. B. Brady, Rep Voy. Challenger, 

 Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 615, pi. 84, figs. 12, 13, text figure 18, p. 616.— Cush- 

 MAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 4, 1914, p. 20, pi. 11, fig. 2. 



The only record for this species in the region is Albatross station 

 D5639, Molucca Sea, in 1,560 fathoms (2,853 meters). This is the 

 deepest station dredged by the Albatross. This specimen is very 

 typical, but larger than usual.

PULLENIA QUINQUELOBA (Reuss). 



Nonionina quinqueloba Reuss, Zeitschr. deutsch. geol. Ges., vol. 3, 1851, p. 47, 



pi. 5, figs. 31a, b. 

 Pullenia quinqueloba H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, 



p. 617, pi. 84, figs. 14. 15.— CusHMAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 4, 1914, 



p. 21, pi. 13, fig. 2. 



Single very typical specimens occur at two stations — D5236, 

 Pacific Ocean, east coast of Mindanao, 494 fathoms, (903 meters), 

 and D5526, between Siquijor and Bohol Islands, 805 fathoms (1, 472 

 meters) . 



All of the records for this species elsewhere are in comparatively 

 deep water, and it never seems to occur in any considerable numbers. 



Pullenia quinqueloba — Material examined. 



PULLENIA OBLIQUILOCULATA Parker and Jones. 



Pullenia obliquiloculata Parker and Jones, Philos. Trans., vol. 155, 1865, p. 368, 

 pi. 19, figs. 4a, 6.— H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, 

 p. 618, pi. 84, figs. 16-20.— CusHMAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 4, 1914, 

 p. 22, pi. 10, fig. 3; pi. 12, figs. 2, 3. 



This is by far the commonest species of the genus in the area. I 

 have noted its occurrence in material from over a hundred stations
