FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 



147 



Distribution. — Type-specimen from Cobscook Baj^, near Eastport, 

 Maine. I have had other specimens from off Trials Island, Eastport, 

 and Casco Bay, Maine, shore sands from Coffins Beach, Annisquam, 

 Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island, and from the Woods 

 Hole region, all on the New England coast. It has also occurred 

 in Gaspe Bay, 30-40 fathoms (55-73 meters). This variety ap- 

 parently does not occur in the Albatross material of deeper water 

 farther south. 



A specimen of a fistulose form is figured (plate 39, fig. 8) which 

 may possibly belong to this species. It is from off the New England 

 coast, Albatross station D2097.

This form described by Williamson from off the coast of the 

 British Isles, has been recorded by numerous authors from the same 

 general region, as given in the references above. I have not found 

 it in the western Atlantic. Sidebottom records the variety from the 

 Mediterranean, but in both cases says that the material is not typi- 

 cal. There are scattered records for it elsewhere.
