riatc 2, fig. 1. 



Brady, Parker, and Jones record this species from ofl' the Abrohlos 

 Bank at three stations.^ I have had no typical material which can 

 be referred to this species; only a single specimen of a short broad 

 form from Albatross station D2572 in 1,7G9 fathoms (3,235 meters), 

 southeast of New England, can be referred here. 



Textularia abbreviata — material examined. 



TEXTULARIA ASPERA H. B. Brady. 



Wright records this species as rare off the southeast coast of Ireland 

 in 1,000 fathoms (1,829 meters).^ Pearcey records it from the warm 

 area of the Faroe Channel' and from the Antarctic in deep waters. ^° 

 This is recorded in the Challenger material from stations 23 and 24, 

 in 450 and 390 fathoms (823 and 713 meters), off the Danish West 

 Indies, and at station 120, in 675 fathoms (1,234 meters), off the 

 eastern coast of Brazil. 



TEXTULARIA FLINTII Cushman, var. CAROLINIANA, new variety. 



Plate 2, fig. 4. 



Description. — Variety differing from the typical in the much more 

 elongate form, rounded periphery, in the lesser amount of concavity 

 on the basal sides of the chambers, narrower throughout. 



Distribution. — Type-specimen (U.S.N.M. No. 17038) from Albatross 

 station D2614, in 168 fathoms (307 meters), off the coast of Carolina. 

 A specimen which perhaps may belong to this variety is from 70 

 fathoms (128 meters) off Fowey Rocks, Florida.
