FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC^ OCEAN. 



103 



Description. — Similar to the typical form of the species but with 

 the broad apical end of the test beset with short spines. 



Distrihution. — Brady's original specimens of this variety were from 

 the East Indies. Our specimens are like those figured by Flint, in 

 which there are a few straight spines at the very base of the test. 

 Such specimens are abundant in the cold water, especially off the 

 New England coast. They are much like the spinose specimens 

 figured by Parker and Jones. -^
