FORAMINIFERA OF NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. 



95 



tropical Pacific, D3375, D3376, D3407, D3415, in 888-1,879 fathoms. 

 The figured specimen is from the Goes material from Station D3415. 



Goes speaks of the specimens as not quite typical, but his speci- 

 mens agree very well with Brady's figures and description.

 Hormosina ovicula, var. Goes, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 



vol. 29, 1896, p. 34, pi. 4, fig. 3. 



Description. — Test composed of several fusi- 

 form chambers joined end to end with slender 

 connective portions, in a straight or slightly 

 curved line, wall thin, finely arenaceous, color 

 yellowish-brown with a distinctly darker red- 

 dish-brown portion at the distal end of the neck 

 of each chamber. 



Length up to 4 mm. 



Distribution. — There are four Challenger rec- 

 ords for this species, station 206, in 2,100 fath- 

 oms, west of Luzon, stations 237, 238, 246, in 

 1,875-3,950 fathoms, on the line east from Ja- 

 pan. Goes records the species from two Alba- 

 tross stations off the west coast of Mexico and 

 Central America, D3357 in 789 fathoms and 

 D3415 in 1,879 fathoms, the specimens being 

 small and scarce. 



Goes speaks of the material as not typical, but while the specimens 

 from the Caribbean Sea are not typical that from the Pacific is much 

 more so. The figured specimen is from Albatross station D3915 

 and is very typical, even to the color bajads of the neck of each 

 chamber. 



HORMOSINA NORMANII H. B. Brady. 



Hormosina normanii H. B. Brady, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. 21, 1881, p. 52; 

 Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 329, pi. 39, figs. 19-23. 



Description. — -Test composed of a few subspherical segments, earlier 

 ones small, later ones much larger, irregularly arranged, aperture at 

 the end of a tubular neck often near the entrance of the last previous 

 aperture or at one side, walls very thin, smooth both without and 

 within. 



Length, 8 mm.
