FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Essex, England. The best recent specimens seem to bo from the 

 South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Brady's Indo-Pacific specimens ^ 

 were off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, 38 fathoms (70 meters) ; 

 off Calpentyn, Ceylon, 2 fathoms (4 meters), and shore sands from 

 Madagascar. From the Atlantic he had it from south of the Canaries, 

 in 1,525 fathoms (2,789 meters), and less typical specimens from off 

 St. Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands, 11 fathoms (20 meters), and two 

 stations off tlie east coast of South America in 675 and 350 fathoms 

 (1,234 and 640 meters). 



I have a single specimen which may be referred to this form. It 

 is from Albatross station D2358, in 222 fathoms (407 meters), in the 

 Caribbean. 



Other recent records arc by Chapman from off Australia, 40 miles 

 south of Cape Wiles, in 100 fathoms (183 meters), and from Ceylon 

 (Dakin). 



The recent specimens, especially the Atlantic ones, do not closely 

 resemble Terquem's Eocene species as noted by Brady, and it is to 

 be strongly suspected that our recent form may be separated from 

 the Eocene one. I have not seen enough material to fully confirm 

 this view.

The recent records for this species described b}^ Williamson from 

 the British Isles are from that same region or from the Indo-Pacific. 

 The British records include Shetland and Skye (Williamson), off 

 Stoksund, 126 fathoms (231 meters), off Sartoroe, near Bergen, Nor- 

 way, 40 fathoms (73 meters) (Norman), and in the Clare Island
