This species, having a worldwide distribution in Recent seas and 

 also probably ranging back into the Miocene, is common in several of 

 the shallower samples. Specimens show considerable variation in 

 proportional width and in lobulation of the periphery.

Single specimens were found at Albatross stations H3838 and 

 H3859, at 2224 and 666 fathoms, respectively, in the Tuamotu 

 Islands. The species was described from off the coast of Central 

 America and has been reported from off California. 



Genus SIPHONINA Reuss, 1850 



SIPHONINA TUBULOSA Cushman 



Plate 15, Figure 4 



Siphonina tubulosa Cushman, 1924, Carnegie Instit. Washington, Publ. 342, p. 40, 

 pi. 13, figs. 1, 2. 



This species, described from Samoa, is represented by very few 

 specimens in the present material, all from near islands or atolls. The 

 species is distinguished by the small tubules that project outward 

 around the periphery and are seen occasionally on the otherwise smooth 

 dorsal and ventral surfaces.
