FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 163 



UVIGERINA AUBERIANA D'Orbien^. 



Plate 42, figs 3, 4. 



Uviffcjina aubcriana D'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, 

 1839, " Foraminiferes," p. lOG, pi. 2, figs. 23, 24. 



Desci^ption. — Test elongate, rapidly tapering from the narrow 

 base to the greatest breadth somewhat above the middle; periphery 

 lobulate; chambers inflated; sutures depressed, distinct; wall orna- 

 mented, closely set with fine spinose projections; the last-formed 

 chamber somewhat smoother and of lessened diameter; apertural 

 end tapering, with an elongate neck which is spinose, ending in a 

 phialine lip. 



Length up to 1 mm. 



Distrihutlon. — D'Orbigny described this species from shore sands 

 of Cuba, Jamaica, and Martinique. Brady records it from south of 

 Rockall Bank in G30 fathoms (1,152 meters). His figure, however, 

 is not like the typical form of the species as developed in the "West 

 Indies. I have specimens which may be referred to this species from 

 stations oif the coast of the Lesser Antilles. 



It is probable that the material from Abrohlos Bank off Brazil, 

 of Brady, Parker, and Jones ^^ is this species, the smoother form 

 (fig. 5) possibly var. laevis Goes.

 Uvigerina auberiana D'Orbigny, forma laevis Goiss, Bull. Mus. Comp. 



Zool., vol. 29, 1896, p. 51. 



Description. — Variety differing from the typical in the much 

 smoother surface and often smaller and more slender form. 



Distrihutlon. — Goes had this form from the Caribbean, and I have 

 what I think is the same from a few stations in the Gulf of Mexico 

 and off the southeastern coast of the United States.
