Soul hern Ocean, between the Cape of Good Hope and Kerguelen Island , 

 and off the Ki Islands. Egger in the Gazelle report records it once 

 from West Australia; but his figures do not indicate typical specimens. 

 It has not previously been recorded from the North Pacific. I have 

 specimens of this species from six stations widely scattered in tlris 

 area, as follows: Albatross station H2899, in 1,531 fathoms, near the 

 Hawaiian Islands; Nero stations 170, east of Midway Island, in 1,990 

 fathoms; 112.3, 1185, and 1208, near the Bonin Islands, in the West- 

 ern Pacific in 1,877, 1,491, and 665 fathoms, respectively; and 

 Albatross station D4957, in 437 fathoms, off Japan. 



This seems to be a small species,, distinct from Bulimina buchiana, 

 with continuous costa? of sufficient strength to obscure the sutures 

 of the test. 



BULIMINA SUBORNATA H. B. Brady. 



9, 1884, 



Bulimina subornata H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol 

 p. 402, pi. 51, figs. 6a, b, 

 Description. — "Test oblong-ovate; resembling that of Bulimina 

 pupoides in general form and segmentation; the earlier chambers 



ornamented externally with raised 

 longitudinal costse; the aboral ex- 

 tremity generally armed with a stout 

 spine. Shell- wall conspicuously orna- 

 mented." 



Length 0.5 mm. 



Distribution. — This species was 

 described by Brady from material 

 dredged by the Challenger on the 

 Ilyalonema-ground, south of Japan, 

 in 345 fathoms. It is very interest- 

 ing to note that the only specimen of 

 this species obtained from the North 

 Pacific material examined was from 

 Albatross station D5090, in 200 fathoms, but a few miles from the 

 spot where this species was obtained by the Challenger. This speci- 

 men might have been used for Brady's figure, so exactly is it like the 

 figure in the Challenger report in its details. The description and 

 figure are from Brady. 



BULIMINELLA, new genus. 



Bulimina (part) d'Orbigny, Foram. Arner. Merid., 1839, p. 51.— H B. Brady, 

 Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 397. 

 Description. — Test composed of chambers triserially arranged, but 

 in later development becoming involute and spirally coiled, the aper- 

 ture being in the umbilicus thus formed; wall calcareous, perforate; 

 aperture in the species but little twisted spirally, long and narrow, 

 nearly vertical, in the closely spiral species becoming rounded in the 

 middle of the concave umbilical area.
