42 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 6 



Lituola nauttloidea, var. scorpiurus W. B. Carpenter, in Parker and 

 Jones, Introduction to the Study of the Foraminifera, 1862, Append., 

 p. 309. 



Test free, fusiform, asymmetrical, chamber usually single, sometimes 

 incompletely divided by projections of the wall; wall composed of 

 coarse sand grains, rough on the exterior, firmly cemented ; aperture 

 terminal, circular. 



The only specimens in our material are from stations 5 and 61. 

 Specimens are much more elongate and more fusiform than in the pre- 

 ceding species. 



Distribution — Off San Pedro, California, in 38 fms. ; ofif Mexico, 

 San Francisco Island, Southwest Bay, in 17 fms. 



Proteonina longicollis Wiesner 



Plate 1, Figs. 7-9 



Proteonina longicollis Wiesner, Deutsche Siid-Polar-Exped., vol. 

 XX, Zool., 1929, p. 82, pi. 6, fig. 55. 



Test globular, free, consisting of a single chamber, prolonged at one 

 end into an elongate, tubular neck sometimes of considerable length; 

 wall of coarse and fine sand grains firmly cemented ; aperture rounded, 

 at the end of the elongate neck. Diameter 0.60-0.80 mm. 



Specimens from stations 55 and 251 are apparently identical with 

 the species described and figured by Wiesner from the Antarctic. The 

 elongate neck is conspicuous but easily broken. 



Distribution. — Off Mexico; Gulf of California, Los Islets, North 

 Isla Partida, in 186 and 225 fms. 



Proteonina compressa Cushman and McCulIoch, new species 



Plate 1, Fig. 10 



Test free, small, much compressed, periphery rounded, nearly circu- 

 lar in front view, prolonged into a short, very broad neck; wall with 

 a mixture of coarse and fine sand grains, rather neatly cemented ; aper- 

 ture broadly elliptical at the end of the short neck. 



Diameter 0.25-0.30 mm; thickness 0.12-0.15 mm. 



Holotype (AHF no. 2) from Station A-1. 



This species differs from Proteonina difflugiformis (H. B. Brady) 

 in the compressed test, short broad neck, and large, elliptical aperture. 

 It occurred in some numbers at the type locality but not elsewhere. It 

 holds its characters well with little variation. 



Distribution. — Off wharf, in 8 fms. at Ketchikan, Alaska.
