TROPICAL PACIFIC FORAMINIFERA OF 'ALBATROSS" 



29 



N., in 413 fathoms. Our specimen measures: Length, 0.4 mm; 

 breadth, 0.3 mm; thickness, 0.15 mm; making it very shghtly larger 

 than the measurements given by Heron-Allen and Earland of their 

 material from off New Zealand. It may be noted here also that this 

 form is close to that figured by Rymer-Jones in his Plate 19, Figure 32, 

 of the Lagenae off Java as Lagena vulgaris "Williamson var. 7narginata 

 Montagu.

Test flask-shaped, elongate, the basal end broadly rounded and the 

 greatest width near the base, thence tapering gradually to the apical 

 end, wliich is furnished with a short, cylindrical, slender neck with a 

 slight phialine lip, the base of the neck rather abruptly joined with the 

 test; wall of the test compound, the outer surface longitudinally 

 costate, with fine crossbars between them, the inner la3^er more or 

 less spinose connecting it with the surface wall; wall opaque. Length, 

 0.3 mm; diameter, 0.1 mm. 



This species was originally described by Sidebottom from the 

 Southwest Pacific. I have given records in the above reference of its 

 occurrence at four stations in the western Atlantic, which seem to be 

 this same species all in comparatively deep water. It is extremely 

 rare in the present collections, occurring at but tvv'o Albatross stations, 

 as shown in Table 19.
