Distribution. — D'Orbigny described this species from shore sands 

 of Cuba and the name has been allowed to lapse since that until I 

 used it for specimens from the north coast of Jamaica. It is a small 

 species which in this region at least seems to be distinct. It may be 

 possible that this is the same as the species given various names by 

 Goes in his series of papers upon the Caribbean foraminifera to which 

 I have referred above, although Goes probably had more than one 

 species present, from the measurements given. This small species 

 is probably rather widely distributed in shallow water in the West 

 Indies. 



CLAYUHNA NODOSARIA d'Orblgny. var. NOVANGLIAE, new rariety. 



Plate 15, figs. 3-5. 



Description.— -Test elongate, slender, slightly tapering, the early 

 triserial portion much reduced, three-sided, the angles rounded, later 

 portion circular in transverse section, increasing in size as the cham- 

 bers are added ; chamber very few in the triserial portion, five to eight 

 in the uniserial portion, more or less indistinct except the last-formed 

 ones, slightly inflated; satures indistinct except near the apertural 

 end where they are depressed, wall arenaceous, slightly roughened; 

 aperture single, circular, terminal, often with a slight neck; color 

 light gray. 



Length up to 2 mm. 



Distribution.- — Type-specimen (U.S.N.M. No. 16317) from Alba- 

 tross station D2247, in 78 fathoms (143 meters), south of Nantucket. 

 It has occurred at several other stations in this same general region 

 off the New England coast. I have placed it as a variety of this 

 species, although it may be distinct, which can be determined by 

 further collection. It reminds one somewhat of the form figured by 

 Brady, Challenger Report (pi. 48, figs. 17, 18), but the triserial por- 

 tion is more reduced and there is developed a slight tubular neck. 

 From the material I have seen it seems to be limited to the New Eng- 

 land coasts and the eastern Atlantic coast south to the Carolinas.
