FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 79 



records it from off the Azores, off the coasts of Norway and Sweden, 

 and from the Arctic. Pearcey records it from the Faroe Channel. 

 I have not seen the species from the western Atlantic. 



NODOSARIA ADVENA, new species. 



Plate 14, fig. 12. 



Nodosaria (Dentalina) roemeri H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zool- 

 ogy, vol. 9, 1884, p. 505, pi. 63, fig. 1.— Flint, Rep. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 1897 (1899), p. 310, pi. 56, fig. 5. 



Description. — Test elongate, only slightly tapering, circular in 

 transverse section, composed of few chambers, initial end broadly 

 rounded, apertural end slightly drawn out ; sutures oblique, distinct, 

 slightly depressed; wall smooth; aperture radiate, eccentric. 



Length up to 7 mm. 



Distribution. — Type-specimen (U.S.N.M. Cat. No. 17856) from 

 Albatross station D2o89, in 525 fathoms (960 meters), off the north- 

 eastern coast of the United States. Specimens of this general char- 

 acter occur at numerous Albatross stations off the eastern coast of 

 the United States, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in the Caribbean. 

 Flint's specimens referred to in the synonymy were from off the 

 northeastern coast of the United States, and off the Bahamas. In 

 the Challenger report Brady gives the following sentence in regard 

 to its distribution : " It has been observed chiefly in the North 

 Atlantic at depths of less than 400 fathoms (732 meters). In the 

 volume on the Summary of Results it is recorded from off the West 

 Indies, off Sombrero and Culebra Islands, 450 and 390 fathoms (823 

 and 713 meters), off Bermuda, 435 fathoms (796 meters), and off 

 the Canaries. 



It is evidently not the same as A^. roemeri Neugeboren and is not 

 the same as Reuss's A\ roemeri., being more like his figure referred 

 to Gristellaria tenuis Bornemann,*^ which is not like Bornemann's 

 original figure at all. 



Heron- Allen and Earland record N. i^oemeri (pi. 13, fig. 6) as 

 very rare west of Scotland, and Pearcey had questionable rare mate- 

 rial from the cold area of the Faroe Channel. Pearcey also records 

 specimens from Burdwood Bank, 1,946 and 56 fathoms (3,559 and 

 102 meters) , material which may be the same as N. advena.
