FORAMINIFERA OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN 



137 



Under the same name, Chapman and Heron-Allen and Earland have 

 recorded specimens from the Indo-Pacific. 



Goes also records subglobiilar specimens from off Scandinavia as 

 variety intermedia Goes. 



"GYPSINA GLOBULUS Reuss" 



Under this name there are several Atlantic records of globular 

 forms from the Abrohlos Bank off Brazil and from the coasts of 

 Europe. Whether or not these are really the same as the fossil 

 species described by Reuss may be doubted. In the Indo-Pacific 

 such specimens are much larger, and in the Tertiar}^ some of them 

 become relatively very large.

GPYSINA RUBRA (d'Orbigny) 



Planorbulina rubra d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 280, No. 4. — 

 FoRNASiNi, Mem. Accad. Sci. Istit. Bologna, ser. 6, vol. 5, 1908, p. 44, 

 pi. 2, fig. 3. 



Gypsina rubra Heron-Allen and Earland, Trans. Zool. Soc. London, 

 vol. 20, 1915, p. 725, pi. 53, figs. 35-37. 



Heron-Allen and Earland have examined d'Orbigny's type and have 

 given copious notes in the reference given above. Our specimens 

 from a single Albatross Station D2619 give a distinct record for this 

 part of the Atlantic, while most of the records are from the Indo- 

 Pacific. 



Our specimens have the pinkish or rose-color characteristic of the 

 species and the general form and surface characteristics shown by 

 Heron-Allen and Earland in their figures. The specimens are 

 attached to fragments of shells, and might easily have been overlooked.
