TEXTULARIIDAE—TEXTULARIA. 23 
A glance at the figures in the literature referred to this species 
will show that the name has been very loosely used, and many of 
the specimens to which it has been referred are very different from 
the types. 
Textularia candeiana d’Orbigny. 
(Plate 2, Figure 2.) 
Teztularia candeiana d’Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, 1839, ‘ Forami- 
niféres,’’ p. 143, pl. 1, figs. 25 to 27.—Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 
1911, p. 12, figs. 14 to 17 (in text); Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 59, 1921, p. 50, pl. 
11, figs. 7, 8. 
Test elongate, tapering rapidly from a very small pointed initial end to 
the broad, swollen apertural end; chambers numerous, distinct; sutures 
slightly depressed, oblique; wall arenaceous, early portion especially more or 
less roughened; aperture an elongate arched slit at the base of the inner 
margin of the last-formed chamber, with an overhanging lip; color white. 
Length of the Tortugas specimens 1 mm., or slightly more. 
The Tortugas specimens of this species are much more nearly 
typical than those which I have figured from off the Hawaiian 
Islands and more so than any of the other figures referred to this 
species. The species is common at a number of the stations and 
is easily distinguished from 7’. agglutinans by the rougher surface, 
lower chambers, and the rapidly increasing breadth and thickness 
toward the apertural end. D’Orbigny originally described it from 
Cuba, Martinique, and St. Thomas, and I have recorded it from 
Jamaica as well as from the Hawaiian Islands and the East Indian 
region. 
Textularia rugosa Reuss? 
(Plate 2, Figure 1.) 
There are a very few specimens of a large, stout species, one of 
which is figured here (plate 2, fig. 1). In this species, especially 
in the later-formed portion, the basal part of the chambers is 
excavated, somewhat similar to Teztularia rugosa Reuss. This 
species, however, has not been found to be characteristic of the 
West Indies, as it is of the Philippines and the East Indian region. 
This material is too scanty to definitely determine what the relation- 
ships of this form are. The others do not show the reéntrants as 
definitely. 
Textularia mayori, new species. 
(Plate 2, Figure 3.) 
Test compressed, increasing rapidly in breadth, initial end rounded, 
apertural end obliquely truncate; surface fairly smooth; chambers rather 
indistinct; sutures slightly depressed; periphery of each chamber with an 
elongate, conical, spinose projection, often broken at the tips, those of the 
early portion directed backward, the later ones extending straight outward; 
wall arenaceous, of angular sand-grains with much fine cement; aperture 
very low, elongate, at the inner border of the last-formed chamber, in a 
reéntrant of the border, with a thin lip above; color gray. 
Length up to 0.80 mm.
