FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN 



49 



Test generally plano-convex, dorsal side in a low spire with convex 

 sides, ventral side somewhat umbilicate, periphery rounded; cham- 

 bers distinct, slightly inflated, very gradually enlarging in size as 

 added; sutures distinct, very slightly depressed on the dorsal side, 

 deeply so on the ventral side, obliquely curved on both sides; wall 

 smooth, thick, very finely perforate, sometimes with a few large 

 pores; aperture, a narrow slit along the ventral side of the chamber. 



Diameter up to 3 mm. 



This is a fine large species apparently most typically developed in 

 the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. I have found it to be very 

 rare in the Albatross dredgings occurring at but two stations, D2415 

 and D2416, off the southeastern coast of the United States.

EPONIDES PYGMAEA (Hantken) (?) 



Under this name, Brady figures a very small species from deep 

 water dredgings of the Challenger expedition. It is rather obvious 

 that they do not represent Hantken's species when a study is made 

 of topotype material from the ClavulinaSzahoi beds of Hungary and 

 a comparison made with Hantken's figures. I have no material that 

 will fit this species from the Albatross collections. The published 

 records referred to this species represent several distinct things.
