BULLETIN 104, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



From the work of Heron-Allen and Earland this species does not 

 seem to be common, although they record it at 12 stations, "but 

 somewhat rare " off the west of Scotland in their Clare Island Report. 

 They mention the following: ''No very pronounced specimens of 

 Bulimina aculeata occur in the area, but at four stations specimens 

 were found, hispid from the whole of the initial portion of the 

 test. . . . The spines of some of the specimens are short, but 

 extremely fine and closely set, so that the apex of the shell is clothed 

 with a prickly felt.'' In the western Atlantic there are small speci- 

 mens occasionally found which have this same character, but whether 

 the}' are the young of the typical form of the species or represent a 

 different species or variety has been impossible to determine. Both 

 forms seem to occur together. The finest large well-developed speci- 

 mens have occurred in the cold water off our New England coast.
