and Flint. The Atlantic material which fits this restricted re- 

 quirement is almost without exception from the warmer portions 

 of the Western Atlantic, south of Cape Hatteras, along the Florida 

 coast, and the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. This also includes 

 the range of the stations from which Flint records the species. 

 Brady records it from off the West Indies and from the north- 

 western coast of Africa. Such specimens are common in warm 

 waters of the Pacific also. None of the English workers on the 

 foraminifera seem to have recorded it from off the British Isles. 

 In view of the very considerable work done on this area, this lack 

 of record is significant. 



Some of the specimens have very reduced spines, similar to the 

 form that I have described as var. aspinosa Cushman from the 

 Miocene of the Bowden Marl, Bowden, Jamaica.®^
