FOEAMINIFERA OP NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. 93 



rial from the stomachs of holothurians dredged at Albatross station 

 D3603 at 1,771 fathoms and from both the eastern and western sides 

 of the North Pacific in depths from 1,597 to 2,112 fathoms. From 

 the region of the Hawaiian Islands Bagg records it from three Alba- 

 tross stations, D4000, D4025, and H4571 in from 104 to 384 fathoms. 

 The least depth at which any of the material of this species which 

 I have examined was dredged was at Tuscarora station 11 hi 437 

 fathoms, about midway between the Hawaiian Islands and the Cali- 

 fornia coast. Brady did not record the species from the North Pacific. 

 From the material at hand and a study of the published figures 

 referred to this species it is evident that there is a considerable differ- 

 ence in the material referred here. Some of the figured specimens 

 are fusiform, decidedly tapering at either end and with a long, drawn 

 out tubular neck, others as in the figured specimen are much the 

 largest near the apertural end. All are uniform in having the sur- 

 face of the adult chambers smooth, but the early chambers are either 

 smooth as in the type figure, or slightly costate ( U. urnula d'Orbigny) 

 or slightly spinose as in the figured specimen. A larger series should 

 throw some light on the actual distribution of the various forms 

 now included under this specific name. 



UVIGERINA CANARIENSIS d'Orbigny, subspecies STRIATA Bagg. 



Uvigerina canariensis d'Orbigny, subspecies striata Bagg, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 vol. 34, 1908, p. 151, pi. 5, fig. 2. 



Description. — u * * * A form which has definite striations 

 extending in groups clear and well defined, though not closely set 

 down, and over the last chamber as well as over the earlier segments 

 as in Uvigerina pygmsea. The inflation of the segments is marked 

 and the septa are depressed." 



Distribution. — Bagg described this subspecies from material dredged 

 off the Hawaiian Islands at Albatross station H4566 in 572 fathoms. 



I have examined the type-specimen, but in the absence of suffi- 

 cient material am inclined to leave it here until more may be 

 available. The description is copied from the original. A single 

 specimen very similar to that figured by Bagg was found in globige- 

 rina ooze at Nero station 172 in 2,086 fathoms near the Midway 

 Islands.

Uvigerina selseyensis Heron-Allen and Earland, Journ. Roy. Mier. Soc, 1909, 

 p. 437, pi. 18, figs. 1-3. 



Description. — Test subovate, broadest toward the apertural end, 

 chambers numerous, early ones rotund, triserially arranged, later ones 

 more or less trihedral, more loosely arranged ; the outer lower mar-
