name. Flint records it off the coast of Carolina, in the Gulf of 

 Mexico and the Caribbean, and Bradj^ from off the West Indies and 

 off the eastern coast of Brazil. The only records from the eastern 

 Atlantic for Nodosaria farcimen seem to be those of Wright's from 

 off the coast of Ireland. Wright and Pearcey both record NodosaHa 

 inflexa Eeuss: Wright as rare off the southwestern coast of Ire- 

 land, and Pearcey with a* question mark as very rare in the warm 

 area of the Faroe Channel. It was not found in any of the abundant 

 material from the region from Cape Hatteras northward. Therefore 

 it appears that we have here a species confined, as far as the western 

 Atlantic shows, to tropical and subtropical waters.

There are, as will be seen bj^ the above references, numerous records 

 for this species in the Atlantic. Except those of Goes, they are all 

 from the eastern Atlantic, off the coast of Europe. Goes records it 

 from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, but the only specimens 

 I have seen from the Albatross collections that are at all like figures 

 of this species are rare specimens from off the northeastern coast of 

 the United States.
