NO. 5 CUSHMAN AND MCCULLOCH : SOME BULIMINIDAE 261 



Uvigerina kernensis Barbat and von Estorff ? 

 Plate 3 3, Fig. 5 



Test short and stout, greatest diameter toward apertural end ; cham- 

 bers inflated, rapidly increasing in size as added ; sutures distinct, deeply 

 depressed; wall ornamented by a few, low, somewhat irregular costae 

 becoming obsolete toward the apertural end; aperture at the end of a 

 short neck, without a lip so far as observed. 



Length 0.45-0.90 mm ; diameter 0.33-0.45 mm. 



No types of U. kernensis Barbat and von Estorff ( Journ. Pal., vol. 7, 

 1933, p. 172, pi. 23, fig. 13) which was described from the Miocene of 

 California, have been available for comparison, and these specimens are 

 referred here questionably. In general shape they resemble "Uvigerina 

 canariensis d'Orbigny, var. striata Bagg" but the ornamentation is much 

 stronger than on the type of that form, with which these have been com- 

 pared. Specimens occur commonly at Station 1 and rarely at Stations 

 1236 and 2144. 



Distribution. — An analysis of these three station records places this 

 species off San Pedro in 12 fms, off Long Point, Catalina Island, Cali- 

 fornia, in 300 fms, and in the Gulf of California in 113 to 117 fms.

Uvigerina nodosa d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 269. — 

 Parker, Jones, and H. B. Brady, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, vol. 8, 

 1871, p. 171, pi. 11, fig. 110.— Fornasini, Boll. Soc. Geol. Ital., vol. 19, 

 1900, p. 165, text fig. 7. 



Test of medium size, elongate, compact, periphery only slightly in- 

 dented; chambers large, early ones indistinct, not inflated, the last one 

 or two chambers smaller than previous ones; sutures indistinct in the 

 early part, deeply incised between later chambers, not curved; wall orna- 

 mented by numerous, low, sharp costae, about 20 on the circumference 

 of the test, aligned across the sutures, although interrupted by the more 

 deeply incised sutures, tending to disappear on the last- formed chamber; 

 aperture circular, at the end of a short neck, surrounded by a thickened 

 rim. 



Length 0.60-0.65 mm; diameter 0.25-0.30 mm. 



This species, based on Soldani's figures, was described from the Adri- 

 atic, and has not been recorded elsewhere. 



Distribution. — A number of specimens which appear to belong here 

 'were found in the Hancock material from Gibraltar (Station 648) and 

 a single specimen from Port Said (Station 634).
