FORAMINIFERA OF THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN.

Fig. 29.— Quinqueloculina seminulum (Linnaeus), x 25. 

 Outlines of specimen from Nero station 1466 off Guam. 



Distribution. — Specimens referable to this species were found at 

 numerous localities in the western Pacific off Japan, Guam, and 

 the Philippines. Brady 

 records it in 40 fathoms 

 off the coral reefs of Hono- 

 lulu, Hawaiian Islands, 

 and from two Challenger 

 stations in deep water 244 

 in 2,900 and 253 in 3,125 

 fathoms. 



The synonymy of this 

 species is very large and 

 very difficult to unravel, 

 as the name has been 

 used to include almost all sorts of smooth quinqueloculine forms. 

 It is here used in the sense used by Brady and other British writers. 



QUINQUELOCULINA PROCERA (Goes). 



Plate 19, fig. 2. 



Miliolina procera Goes, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 29, 1896, p. 82, pi. 7, 

 figs. 7-9. 



Description. — Test comparatively large, thick, wall heavy, smooth, 

 chambers tumid, distinct, sutures distinct but not deep, apertural 

 end not at all exserted, aperture slightly depressed below the general 

 surface, consisting usually of a transverse narrow slit more or less 

 angled in a zigzag fashion, the lip but slightly developed and usually 

 no definite tooth apparent. 



Length, up to 2.40 mm. 



Distribution. — Goes described this species from the eastern tropical 

 Pacific, Albatross station 3,407 in 885 fathoms. I found abundant 

 specimens of apparently the same species from Albatross station 3346 

 off the west coast of the United States. 



This is a large and striking species and seems to be a distinct one, 

 and in the Pacific at least, so far as material has shown, seems to 

 be confined to the western coast of America.
