No. 2302. FORAMINIFERA FROM NEW ZEALAND— CVSHMAN. 607 



species found in the South Pacific and those in the North Atlantic. 

 All these New Zealand specimens are much compressed, and, except 

 that the adult ones are somewhat elongate, are of the type figured 

 by Brady .^ Sidebottom and Chapman both record this species, 

 and it is possible that the compressed Pacific form should be dis- 

 tinguished from the more inflated Atlantic one. 



Genus EHRENBERGINA Reuss, 1850. 



EHRENBERGINA SERRATA Reuss, variety. 



There are several mounted specimens in the collection which are 

 uniform in character. They are much more compressed than is 

 generally the case in this species, and the center portion where the 

 angles of the sutures come together instead of being angled and pro- 

 jected is flattened. This is constant in all the specimens and may 

 represent a distinct variety of the species. Sidebottom records 

 this species from Australia, but makes no mention of any peculiarity 

 of this sort.

There are several specimens of this common species, showing 

 little variation except in the thickness of the test. 



LAGENA LAEVIS (Montagu).

A single specimen, nearly spherical in shape, evidently belongs 

 here.

There are several specimens of this species, very close to the form 

 which I have figured.^
