Uvigerina tenuistriata Flint (not V. tenuistriata Reuss), Rep. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 1897 (1899), p. 320, pi. 68, flg. 1. 



Description. — Test somewhat elongate, not more than twice as 

 long as broad, fusiform or oval; chambers rather obscure; sutures 

 only slightly depressed and partially hidden by the ornamentation 

 of the surface which consists of numerous very fine longitudinal 

 costae only slightly raised above the general surface, the whole test 

 thin and translucent, shining; af)ertural end slightly depressed, the 

 apertural neck with its base in this hollow, the outer end with a 

 flaring lip, the sides of the neck with two or three ringlike projec- 

 tions. 



Length up to 0.65 mm. 



D 1st nh lit i 071.— Type-specimen (U.S.N.M. Cat. No. 17039) from 

 Albatross stations D2641, in 60 fathoms (110 meters), off Carj^sfort 

 Light, Florida. It also occurred in typical form at other stations 

 about southern Florida, one off the coast of Georgia and one in the 

 Caribbean Sea off Yucatan. 



This is a very distinctive species and is evidently limited to the 

 warmer portions of the western Atlantic, unless, as is the case of 

 other species, it may extend westward into the Indo-Pacific. 



The whole appearance is distinctive, in the very slightly lobulate 

 outline, the sunken neck, the plates of the outside of the neck, the 

 shining, translucent character of the test, and the fine ornament- 

 tation. 



Flint has this species from this same station and referred it to 

 U. tenuistriata Eeuss. This is probably the species Goes figures 

 and refers to U. 'pygmaea.''^

UVIGERINA PIGMKA D'Orbigny? 



There are very numerous records under this name in various parts 

 of the Atlantic, as Avell as for the rest of the world. A study of 

 D'Orbigny's type figure and Modele shows that his type was a fusi-
