FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 



Ill 



in addition tliat it is known from northern regions as follows : From 

 Davis Strait, off Nova Zembla, as well as from the Faroe Channel, 

 the west coast of Scotland, and the north and west coasts of Ireland. 

 Goes records it from off Spitzbergen, Greenland, and Norway, in 60 

 to 350 meters (33 to 191 fathoms), and Kiaer from off Greenland, in 

 300 meters (164 fathoms). From about the British Isles Heron- 

 Allen and Earland record it from eight stations in the Clare Island 

 region of western Ireland, rare off South Cornwall, and at nine 

 stations west of Scotland. 



In the Albatross dredgings it has occurred at several stations, 

 mostly in the southern part of the area, south of Cape Hatteras, in 

 the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. In addition there are two 

 stations south of Cape Cod on the Atlantic coast of the United States. 



From this distribution and a comparison of the figures given by 

 various authors and referred to this species it seems safe to say that 

 the series should be carefully studied to see if only one species is 

 present. 



Our specimens from the Albatross dredgings are like those figured 

 in the Challenrjer Report. There seems to be little if any deviation 

 from this form. Apparently the species as Brady had it is present 

 in the warmer waters of the western Atlantic, but not in the colder 

 portion. Such forms as some of those figured by other authors, like 

 the early figures of Parker and Jones, were not found in the western 

 Atlantic material. 



The species figured by Goes as ^' Bulimina Normani Goes" ^* from 

 off Norway seems to be a short form related to B. suhteres.
