 around the umbilicus; sutures not depressed; aperture a long narrow 

 slit at the inner margin of the last segment. Transverse section close 

 to the superior surface has opened all but one of the ten chambers. 

 Diameter, about 0.8 mm. (-j^ inch). 



Localities. Species widely distributed geographically. Specimens 

 from the Gulf of Mexico (station 2377), 210 fathoms. 



PULVINULINA UMBONATA Reuss. 

 (Plate 74, fig. 4.) 



Small, biconvex, with the greatest convexity on the lower face; 

 umbilici not depressed ; margin rounded; segments rather numerous, 

 in about three narrow convolutions; sutures straight, radial, smooth. 

 Diameter, about 0.75 mm. (^ inch).

 tinctly marked superiorly, well-defined, and a little depressed on the 

 inferior face; aperture as usual, a narrow slit on the inner margin of 

 the final segment. Diameter, about 0.6 mm. (-fa inch).
