FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 7 



TEXTULARIA SAGITTULA Defrance, var. JUGOSA H. B. Brady. 



Heron-Allen and Earland record a single specimen which they 

 have referred to this variety from off the western coast of Scotland.^ 



TEXTULARIA MAYORl Cushman. 



Textularia juai/on Cushman, Publ. 811, Carnegie Inst. Wash., 1922, p. 23, pi. 2, 

 fig. 3. 



Description. — Test compressed, increasing rapidly in breadth, 

 initial end rounded, apertural end obliquely truncate; surface fairly 

 smooth; chambers rather indistinct; sutures slightly depressed; 

 periphery of each chamber with an elongate, conical, spinose projec- 

 tion, often broken at the tips, those of the early portion directed 

 backward, the later ones extending straight outward; wall arenaceous, 

 of angular sand-grains with much fine cement; aperture very low, 

 elongate, at the inner border of the last-formed chamber, in a reen- 

 trant of the border, with a thin lip above ; color gray. 



Length up to*0.80 mm. 



This species occurred at 5 stations in the Tortugas area, usually 

 those of greater depths. I have failed to find it in other material 

 from the West Indies or Caribbean, although it is a striking form and 

 could hardly be overlooked. With its peripheral spines it resembles 

 such species as T. carinata d'Orbigny, T. horrida Egger, and T. sagit- 

 tula Defrance, vsiT.Jistulosa H. B. Brady, but is different from any of 

 these. 



It is named in honor of Dr. Alfred G. Mayor, Director of the 

 Tortugas Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Description. — Test elongate, tapering, compressed, the periphery 

 rounded; chambers inflated, increasing in height toward the aper- 

 tural end; sutures distinct, depressed, wall rather coarsely arenaceous, 

 but smoothly finished; aperture an elongate slit in a well-marked 

 depression of the inner border of the chamber; color gray. 



Length 1 mm. or slightly more. 



Distribution. — D'Orbigny described this species from the shore- 

 sands of Cuba. In the West Indian region typical specimens of this
