regions shows that there are undoubtedly constant differences which 

 should be more carefully noted. The material from the western At- 

 lantic which is here described as B. goesii is one of this group, but no 

 typical B. dilatata occurs in that region so far as I have seen. The 

 specimens I have seen from European localities are as a rule very 

 close to the form described by Williamson as T. variahilis, var, 

 spathvlata,^^ which is more elongate and has the chambers curved 

 backward more than found in the type figure of Reuss. Such speci- 

 mens are evidently very abundant about the British Isles, but so 

 far as I have seen certainly do not occur on our side of the Atlantic. 



BOLIVINA DIJRRANDII MilleU. 



Bolivina durrawJii Millett, Journ. Roy. Mcr. Soc, 1900, p. 544, pi. 4, fig. 7. — 

 Heron-Allen and Earland, Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc, 1908, p. 314. 



Outside of the Malay Archipelago, from which this species was 

 described by Millett, where he found it in abundance, the only other 

 record seems to be that of Heron-Allen and Earland, who record 

 ''one large, very fine specimen of unquestionably recent origin." 

 This was from the shore sands of wSussex, England. This is a very 

 peculiar distribution. 



BOLIVINA GLUTINATA Egger. 



Bolivina glutinata Egger, Abh. kon. bay. Akad. Wise. Miinchen, CI. II, 

 vol. 18, 1893, p. 297, pi. 8, figs. 57-62. 



Egger describes this species from Gazelle Station 17, off western 

 Africa, in 677 meters (369 fathoms). His figures, as usual, are very 

 poor and give little guide as to the real character of this species.

Description. — Test rhomboid, tapering toward the initial end to a 

 blunt point, the apertural end also angular, much compressed, peri- 

 phery slightly if at all lobulated; chambers fairly numerous, dis- 

 tinct, narrow, at the inner end usually with a ventral pointing pro- 

 jection, somewhat rounded; sutures distinct, very slightly depressed, 

 irregular on account of the peculiar shape of the inner end of the 

 chambers, wall smooth, finely punctate, aperture narrow, slightly 

 elongate; color white. 



Length 0.30-0.40 mm.
