QUINQUELOCULINA AGGLL'TINANS d'Orbigny.

Quinquelorulina aggluf.inan^ d'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat., 

 Cuba, 1839, "Foraminif feres," p. 168, pi. 12, figs. 11-13 (not of later authors). 



From a study of West Indian material from shallow water and a 

 comparison with d'Orbigny's figures it is clear that the true Q. agglu- 

 tinans is an arenaceous species with a squarish edge to the peripheral 

 portion. A very similar form occurs in the Philippine material at 

 several stations. It is close to the forms assigned by Heron-Allen 

 and Earland to Q. sclerotica. 



Material of this species occurred at nine stations, ranging in depth 

 from 10 to 88 fathoms (IS to 161 meters), with the average 31 fath- 

 oms (57 meters). The onh" station at which bottom temperatures 

 were given was 75.7° F. (24.2° C). 



These stations are all in and about the Archipelago; China Sea, 

 off southern Luzon; off Jolo; Sulu Archipelago, Tawi Tawi Group; 

 off Romblon; between Burias and Luzon; and Ragay GuK, Luzon.

To this species are referred numerous specimens from the Philip- 

 pine dredgings which occur in comparativel}^ shallow water, and which 

 are not the same as Q. agglutinans d'Orbigny. I am not sure that 

 this material should be referred to Q. sclerotica Karrer. It has oc- 

 curred at 14 stations, ranging in depth from 10 to 312 fathoms (18 

 to 571 metei-s), the average depth being 49 fathoms (90 meters). 

 Bottom temperatures were given at two stations, 49.3° F, and 75.7° F.) 

 (9.6° C. and 24.2° C.) ; the warmer representing 37 fathoms (68 meters)
