FORAMINIFERA OF NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. 



67 



smooth exterior; aperture elongate, situated in a depression of 

 the inner border of the chamber, between it and the adjacent 

 wall of the preceding chamber; color gray or slightly brownish. 



Length 2 mm. 



Distribution. — This species was very abun- 

 dant in material from Albatross station 1)4<>()(>, 

 in 139 fathoms, Eastern Sea (type, Cat. No. 

 8340, U.S.N.M.). 



This species seems at first glance to be very 

 similar to Verneuilina propinqua H. B. Brady, 

 but it is a Gaudryina, as the last formed 

 chambers are decidedly biserial. It is a very 

 short species and differs in general appearance 

 from the others of its genus.

Description. — Test stout, somewhat elongate, tapering slightly until 

 near the initial end where it tapers abruptly to the somewhat 

 blunt end; triserial portion nearly circular in cross section, of few 

 chambers, the later biserial portion making up about three-fourths of 

 the test, slightly compressed; chambers overlapping and appearing 



crowded, broadly el- 

 liptical in cross sec- 

 tion, inflated; su- 

 tures deep and dis- 

 tinct; end strongly 

 convex; wall of fine 

 arenaceous material 

 or calcareous shell, 

 smooth; aperture 

 oval, slightly back 

 from the inner mar- 

 gin of the chamber 

 and with the border raised somewhat and thickened; color light gray. 

 Length 0.38 to 0.90 mm. 



Distribution. — Under the name of Gaudryina pupoides this species 

 has been recorded as follows from the North Pacific: Brady records
