PLEISTOCENE FOSSILS. 213 



Recent— Gulf and River St. Lawrence, 30 to 813 fathoms. G. M. I). 

 British Columbia. 



Not uncommon in the Pleistocene, particularly in the deeper part 

 of the Leda clay. Less common recent. I observed in the Riviere- 

 du-Loup gatherings a small individual of this species with the internal 

 pipe at the aperture characteristic of Entosolenia, which is also some- 

 times observed in recent specimens. 



Truncatulina lohatula. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Labrador ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Anticosti. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, very common 30 to 50 fathoms. British 

 Columbia. 



This species is much less common in the Pleistocene than in the 

 recent, 



Orhulina universa. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Labrador. 

 This may be regarded as a rare and somewhat doubtful Pleistocene 

 fossil. It has not yet been recognized in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 



Globigerina hulloides. 



Fossil — Riviere-du-Loup ; Anticosti. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, more especially in the deeper water, 

 where it is common. It is very rare in the Pleistocene. 



Pulvinulina repcmda. 



Fossil— Montreal, Leda clay ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Murray Bay ; 

 Labrador ; Quebec ; Portland (Maine). 



Recent— Gulf St. Lawrence, 30 to 313 fathoms. G. M. D. 



Somewhat rare both in the Pleistocene and recent, and of the small 

 size usual in the arctic seas. 



Polystomella crispa. — (Var. striatopunctaia). 



(Var. arctica). 



Fossil— Montreal, Leda clay ; Labrador ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Murray 

 Bay ; Quebec ; Portland (Maine) ; St. John, N.B. 



Recent— Gulf and River St. Lawrence, 30 to 40 fathoms. G. M.l). 

 British Columbia. 



Very common, especially in depths of 10 to 40 fathoms. Tliis is by 

 far the most abundant species in the Pleistocene deposits, as it is also 

 in all the shallow parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence at present, and
