290 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 6 



"Test fusiform, subtriangular in cross-section in the later portion, 

 early portion conical ; chambers numerous, early ones inflated, later ones 

 flattened so as to produce a triangular outline ; sutures distinct, depressed ; 

 wall smooth ; the apical end in some specimens provided with a few ob- 

 scure costae; aperture terminal, oval, with a thickened lip and very short 

 neck. 



"Length of the type specimen, 0.48 mm." 



This species occurs usually with A. baggi and, as noted under that 

 species, the two may be closely related. A. hughesi is distinguished by its 

 deeply indented sutures and consequently lobulated periphery, and its gen- 

 erally longer test. 



The original description of this species from the Pleistocene is quoted 

 above. The species occurs commonly to rarely at numerous stations as 

 follows: 227, 230, 284, 1083, 1095, 1113, 1116, 1117, 1168, 1178, 1212, 

 1222, 1244, 2070, 2144, 2161. 



Distribution. — Two areas are represented in these station records, 

 off San Pedro, San Benito, and Guadalupe Islands, and in the Gulf of 

 California in depths of 17 to 490 fms. 



Angulogerina hughesi (Galloway and Wissler), var. picta 



Todd, new variety 



Plate 36, Fig. 3 



Variety differing from the typical form in the ornamentation consist- 

 ing of costae and spines, the costae low, numerous, and faint, sometimes 

 extending over nearly the entire test but more prominent toward the 

 initial end, and the spines short and heavy and varying from covering the 

 lower half of the test to almost none. 



The ornamentation on this variety is a highly variable character but 

 the spinosity is consistently toward the initial, not apertural, end. The 

 sizes and shapes of the tests include forms that, lacking ornamentation, 

 would be included in both A. hughesi and A. hdggi, thus suggesting that 

 these two species should be combined. 



Holotype (AHF no. 65) from Station 1194. This variety is very 

 widespread, more so than the typical form of the species. It is recorded 

 from the following stations, often in considerable numbers: Or. 7, 73, 82, 

 126, 207, 232, 283, 542, 1018, 1050, 1061, 1062, 1063, 1064, 1066, 

 1077, 1082, 1086, 1100, 1101, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1133, 1138, 1151, 

 1152, 1153, 1155, 1156, 1158, 1160, 1161, 1163, 1165, 1168, 1170, 

 1172, 1175, 1177, 1183, 1186, 1187, 1188, 1189, 1190, 1191, 1192, 

 1193, 1194, 1195, 1196, 1198, 1201, 1228, 1229, 1230, 1238, 1241, 

 1242, 1246, 2057, 2063, 2097, 2098, 2100, 2130, 2133, 2157, 2165.
