TEXTULARIA CONICA d'Orbigny. 

 (Plate 29, fig. 6.) 



Small, short, conical, often a little compressed laterally, base quite 

 flat; texture arenaceous; surface rough. Length, about 0.5 mm. (-^ 

 inch). 



Locality. Off Oarysfort Light, Florida (station 2641), 60 fathoms. 



TEXTULARIA TROCHUS d'Orbigny. 

 ( Plate 30, fig. 1.) 



Short, conical, with a flat base and a rounded tip, in section circular 

 both at the tip and base ; walls thick and cavernous ; texture rather 

 coarsely arenaceous; aperture a narrow slit with smooth lips at the 

 inner margin of the last segment. Length, about 1 mm. (-^ inch). 



Localities. Off Cape Hatteras, west coast of Cuba, east coast of 

 Florida (stations 2264, 2352, 2641), 60 to 460 fathoms. 



TEXTULARIA BARRETTII Jones and Parker. 



(Plate 30, fig. 2.) 



A large, symmetrical, elongated, conical shell, slightly compressed 

 antero-posteriorly instead of laterally as in other species of this genus; 

 texture arenaceous; surface smooth; sutures distinctly marked by 

 narrow grooves; chamber cavities labyrinthic. Sections show the 

 labyriuthic character of the chambers and the thick walls. Length, 4 

 mm. ( inch), more or less. 



Locality. Off Little Bahama Bank (station 2655), 338 fathoms. 



Genus VERNEUILINA. 

 Test triserial, with textularian aperture. 



VERNEUILINA PYGM^EA Egger. 

 (Plate 31, fig. 1.) 



A short, conical test, composed of three series of segments arranged 

 symmetrically around the long axis of the shell; segments inflated; 

 walls finely arenaceous, smooth; aperture a long slit, with a slightly 

 raised lower lip, at the inner margin of the final segment; color white. 

 Length, about 1.5 mm. (-$ inch). 



Locality. Gulf of Mexico (stations 2383, 2395), 1,181 and 347 fathoms. 



VERNEUILINA PROPINQUA Brady. 

 (Plate 31, fig. 2.) 



Very similar in form to V. pygmcea, but is larger, coarser, rougher, 

 less symmetrical, and in color a reddish brown. The aperture is with- 

 out the raised lip seen in the other species.
