8 M The Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18. 



Baffin bay and Smith sound, 27-80 fathoms, and Hunde islands, Davis strait, 

 60-70 fathoms. Goes records it from various Scandinavian and Arctic localities, 

 including Spitzbergen. Heron-Allen and Earland record it from the coast of 

 Ireland, and Pearcey from the Antarctic, in 2,110 fathoms. There are very few 

 other records of its occurrence in the cold deep waters of the ocean basins. 

 Awerinzew records it from Barents sea and Nordenskiold sea, north of Siberia. 

 The species is therefore characteristic of such cold waters as those of the Arctic 

 and deeper waters elsewhere. 



Textularia gramen d'Orbigny. 



Two poor specimens of small size, but resembling this species, were obtained 

 at station 43gr. They are made of very soft, light-coloured amorphous material. 



Verneuilina polys tropha Reuss. 

 (Plate I, figure 5.) 



A very few specimens were obtained which are referred to this species. 

 From station 20 b-c. They are very slender, many-chambered, in some ways 

 resembling Gaudryina apicularis Cushman (G. siphonella Brady, not Reuss), 

 but are triserial throughout like Verneuilina. From station 43c there is a single 

 specimen in general similar but slightly broader. They may represent an 

 undescribed species, but the material is not sufficient to warrant a full description 

 at present. 



In this connection it is of interest to note that Brady gives V. polystropha 

 as occurring as far north as Nova Zembla, Baffin bay, and Davis strait.

 figs. 7-10. 



A very few specimens from stations 206-c, 27s, and 29a, seem to belong to 

 this species. It has been found as far north as 70 off Norway, but is not a 

 characteristic cold-water form.

Specimens occurred at stations 29a and 436. Although a very widely 

 distributed species, as is also the following, they are both found in a large number 

 of soundings from high latitudes both north and south. Both species occur in 

 Brady's table of species from high latitudes, and occur at nearly all the stations 

 tabulated there. Awerinzew found both species in material from the Siberian 

 Arctic, C. crassa being perhaps the more characteristic.
