56 BULLETIN 161, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



The separation of specimens into two species or two genera on the 

 basis of shape of test (globular in Gypsina (or Sphaerogypsina) globula 

 and hemispherical in Gypsina vesicularis) and size of areolae (small in 

 the former and large in the latter) seems unjustified; therefore, I am 

 including the two forms under the earlier name, as indicated by the 

 above synonymy. Moreover, as has been demonstrated by Nyholm 

 (1962), the genus itself is a resting stage of Cibicides and, thus, the 

 recognition of species within it is wholly artificial. Nevertheless, it is 

 convenient to have a name by which to refer to these more or less 

 globular masses of piled-together, coarsely perforate chambers. By 

 the same token, it may be convenient to retain the means of distin- 

 guishing between the globular ones with small areolae and the attached 

 hemispherical ones with larger areolae. If so, then the two names, 

 Gypsina globula and G. vesicularis, should be retained. 



Specimens in the present collections are rare and belong mostly to 

 the globular form with small areolae. They do not occur in the deep- 

 water samples but only in those from around the islands.
