Vvigerina peregrina, var. parvula — material examined. 



UVIGERINA PORRECTA H. B. Brady.

One of the ChaUenger stations given for this species is off Ber- 

 mnda, 435 fathoms (796 meters). The others are in the Pacific. 

 Earland records it as very rare at Bognor, Sussex, England. There 

 seem to be no other Atlantic records. I have failed to find it in the 

 western Atlantic, even in the tropical portion, and it seems that the 

 specimens recorded from the Atlantic should be reexamined to see 

 if they are really the same as the species characteristic of the Indo- 

 Pacific. 



UVIGERINA OCCIDENTALIS, new species. 



Vvigerina angulosa Cushman, Publ. 311, Carnegie Inst. Wasliington, 1922, 

 p. 34, pi. 5, figs. 3, 4. 



Description. — Test minute, elongate, triangular in transverse sec- 

 tion, the periphery somewhat lobulate; chambers distinct, those of 

 the last-formed portion becoming more distinct and remote; sutures 

 distinct and depressed; wall ornamented with comparatively large, 

 high costae on all the chambers except the last ones in the adult, 

 apertural end drawn out into a tubular neck with a slight phia- 

 line lip. 



Length not exceeding 0.50 mm. 



Distribution. — Type-specimen from the Tortugas region. It has 

 also occurred at several Albatross stations, ranging from the eastern
