FORAMINIFERA OF NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. 13 



The original figure given by Ehrenberg is a rather poor one, but may 

 be this species. Egger's figure ' has prominent lines of punctae winch 

 are not typical of this species, and apparently does not belong here.

Description. — Test subglobose, smooth, entosolenian, but slightly if 

 at all compressed, apical end with a pointed spine, variable in length. 



Length 0.5 mm. 



Distribution. — This species is recorded in the Summary of Results 

 of the Challenger Report at stations in the western Pacific down to 

 2,300 fathoms. I have had a specimen from Nero station 1155 in 

 1,652 fathoms between Guam and Yokohama.

Description. — Test variously formed, globular to pyriform, the sur- 

 face clothed with delicate spines uniformly distributed over the test. 



Length 0.4 to 0.8 mm. 



Distribution. — Brady records this species at a single Cliallenger 

 station in the North Pacific off Japan in 345 fathoms. Bagg records 

 it from the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, Albatross station H4585 

 in 689 fathoms. I have material from Nero station 2037 in 55 fathoms 

 off the Hawaiian Islands, 1147 in 1,856 fathoms and Albatross D4891 

 in 181 fathoms, both off Japan. 



Figures are here given of two of the modifications noted, the globose 

 form with long tubular projection (pi. 4, fig. 5) and the compressed 

 form (pi. 4, fig. 4) noted by Sidebottom.
