FORAMINIFEEA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

NODOSARIA ABYSSORUM H. B. Brady. 



The only record from the Atlantic for this species seems to be 

 that of Egger, who records it from a single Gazelle station off 

 western South Africa.^^ 



NODOSARIA PROXIMA Silvestri? 



Plate 15, fig. 3. 



There are specimens from two Albatross stations off the north- 

 eastern coast of the United States which in general represent the 

 figures given by Brady of this species. The only record given by 

 Brady from the Atlantic was off the Azores. Pearcey records it from 

 Burdwood Bank in 56 fathoms (102 meters), and Heron-Allen and 

 Earland record a single specimen from off South Cornwall-^ and 

 as rare off the west of Scotland.^^
