also in the Arctic Seas, according to Parker and Jones. It is the

Nonionina scapha. 



(Var. Labj'adorica). 



Fossil— Leda clay, Montreal ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Anticosti ; 

 Labrador; Murray Bay ; Quebec; St. John, N.B. 



Recent — Gulf and River St. Lawrence, 10 to 313 fathoms. (G. M. D. ) 

 British Columbia. Var. Labradorica is the deeper water form and is 

 rare in the Leda clay. 



Textularia pygmcea. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Labrador ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Quebec ; also at 

 Portland (Maine). 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, 10 to 30 fathoms. 



The Textularige are rare and of small size, both in the Pleistocene 

 and recent. 



Gomuspira foUacea. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, 16 to 250 fathoms. G. M. D, 



This species is rare both fossil and recent. 



Quinquelocidina {Miliolina) seminulum. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal; Labrador ; Quebec; Portland (Maine), 

 British Columbia. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, 10 to 313 fathoms, most abundant in 

 shallow water. G. M. D. 



This species is by no means common and not usually large in the
