REOPHAX DISTANS H. B. Brady, var. TURBO Goes. 



Plate 4, fig. 1. 

 Reophax turho Goes. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 29, 1896, p. 29, pi. 1, figs. 2, 3. 



Desaiption. — ''Chambers conical trochiform, margiiiatcd, the 

 margin on one side somewhat crenulated, the necks slender. One- 

 chambered specimens onl}' open at their two ends have been met 

 with; test thin, firmly constructed of finest sand; surface nearly 

 smooth." 



Distribution. — Goes described this variety from two Albatross 

 stations in the Gulf of Mexico D2394, latitude 28° 38' 30'' N.; longi- 

 tude 87° 02' W. in 420 fathoms (768 meters) and D2395, latitude 28°' 

 36' N.; longitude 86° 50' W., in 347 fathoms (635 meters). I have 

 found a single specimen from the first of these tAvo stations and have 

 examined Goes' type material from the same station. 



Although single chambers only have been met with it seems that 

 these are broken from a series both ends showing fracture and are 

 related to R. distans. 



REOPHAX DISTANS H. B. Brady, var. DELICATULUS, new variety. 



Plate 4, %. 2. 



Description. — Chambers subglobular instead of elongate fusiform 

 somewhat longer than wide, the ends broadly rounded, of fine sand, 

 dark reddish brown in color, the tubular connections very slender 

 and not enlarging where they connect with the chambers. 



Distnbution. — Type specimen from Albatross station D2393, 

 U.S.N.M No. 10114. The three stations in the Gulf of Mexico at 

 which this variety was found are close together. In Goes' collection 

 it appears from station D2379 in the same area under the name 

 Hormosina glohulifera ? Brady.
