Test elongate, very slightly tapering, initial end with a distinct spine ; 

 chambers increasing very slightly in size as added in the megalospheric 

 form, somew^hat inflated; sutures distinct, slightly depressed, nearly 

 straight ; wall with numerous fine longitudinal costae independent of the 

 sutures ; aperture terminal, radiate. 



This is a variable species but the specimen figured seems to come 

 within the limits of the species. 



Station: 1107. 



Distribution. — The single station record in relatively shallow waters 

 off Long Point, Catalina Island, suggests the need to seek much addi- 

 tional material for further study for its occurrence in Eastern Pacific 

 waters. 



Nodosaria subscalaris Cushman 

 Plate 41, Figs. 21-24 



Nodosaria subscalaris Cushman, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 51, 1917, 

 p. 654; Bull. 100, U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 4, 1921, p. 201, pi. 36, fig. 2. 



The series of specimens here figured shows the considerable varia- 

 tion in this species which is referred to N. subscalaris described from the 

 western Pacific. While most of the characters are similar, the aperture 

 in our specimens has a distinct neck and lip with transverse costae instead 

 of longitudinal ones. The species is very common in the Hancock ma- 

 terial.
