 Description. — Test composed of two or more chambers, the initial 

 chamber globular with a short spine at the base, the second pyriform 

 with a well drawn out neck and radiate aperture; wall smooth; 

 sutures well depressed. 

 Length about 1 mm. 



Distribution. — Brady records two stations in the Challenger rec- 

 ords for this species, one off Cape Hatteras and the other off the 

 Canaries. Flint records it at an Albatross station very close to that 

 of Brady, off Hatteras. I have it from a single station off the south- 

 ern coast of Brazil. On the European coast the only records seem 

 to be that of Pearcey,-^ as rare in the warm area of the Faroe 

 Channel, and a very queer-looking specimen which Heron-Allen and 

 Earland figure from the Clare Island region.-* It does seem at 

 all like the specimen I have had or the figures given by other authors. 



Nodosaria simplex — material examined. 



NODOSARIA SUBANTENNULA, new name. 



Nodosaria antennula Cushman, Proc. U. S. Nat Mus., vol. 51, 1917, p. 653; 

 Bull. 100, U. S. Nat. Mus, vol 4, 1921, p. 197, pi. 35, fig. 3. 



The above name may be used for the species which I have described 

 from the Philippine region in the reference given above. It is not 

 the same as Dentalina antennula D'Orbigny, 1846. 



NODOSARIA ATLANTICA, new species. 



Plate 12, figs. 11, 12. 



Description. — Test elongate, slightly tapering, arcuate, composed 

 of a few inflated chambers, short; sutures of the early portion
