FORAMINIFERA OF NOETH PACIFIC OCEAN. 



13 



and 2043, in 55 and 58 fathoms. Specimens, less elongate, were also 

 found in material from Gaspar Strait (fig. 15). 



Some of the Hawaiian specimens are very much expanded at the 

 apertural end, even more so than the figured specimen. This is 

 especially accentuated when they are viewed laterally so that the 

 thin edge of the early portion is seen. 



Both megalospheric and microspheric forms were found in the 

 material examined. In the microspheric form the early portion is 

 coiled as in this form in other species. The coiling is not apparent 

 in the megalospheric form. 



TEXTULARIA MILLETTI, new species. 



Textularia sagittula, var. jugosa Millett, Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc, 1899, p. 561, 

 pi. 7. fig. 8. 



Description.— Test free, compressed, composed of numerous broad, 

 low chambers, rapidly increasing in breadth in the earlier chambers, 

 in end view narrow, acutely pointed at the lateral margins; wall 

 coarsely arenaceous; distal and inner walls of chambers much thick-

ened, forming a raised ridge, often with irregular portions extending 

 from the proximal edge; peripheral margin thin; chambers of earlier 

 portions often obscure in external view. 



Length 1 mm., megalospheric proloculum 0.055 mm. (in one speci- 

 men) . 



Distribution.— Specimens referred to this species were obtained at 

 four North Pacific stations, Xcro stations 990 (type), in 859 fathoms, 

 and 1464, in 891 fathoms, both near Guam; also Nero station 1205, 

 in 737 fathoms, south of Yokohama, and Albatross station H3007, 

 in 323 fathoms, near the Hawaiian Islands. 



Type.— Cat. No. 8332, U.S.N.M. Apparently the recent form 

 figured by Millett from the Malay Archipelago is the same species. 



The form and ornamentation of the test will distinguish this species 

 from others of the genus.
