There is much question as to the use of Montagu's name for the 

 form figured. Most authors have used it for forms similar to those here 

 figured, a flask-shaped test w^ith a short cylindrical neck and slightly 

 developed lip, the base slightly truncate and the test thin and smooth 

 with the exception of a series of short, longitudinal costae near the base 

 of the test. 



Stations: A-16, Or. 10, 4, 39, 58, 76, 1008, 1093, 1108, 1123, 1125, 

 1210, 218, 225, 227, 229, 2089, 2137, 2154, 409, 413, 417, 450, 460, 

 468, 472, 514, 543, 602, 604, 606, 608, 609, 613, 615, 636, 640, 642, 

 649, 655, 659, and 664. 



Distribution. — These stations extend from Seward, Alaska, in 10 

 fms. southward along the coast to Station 543, Port Utria, Colombia, 

 in 50 fms. Stations 602-655 are additional records from numerous ports 

 all over the world. The average depth for all the stations is 25 fms. The 

 specimens of this species seem to be rather abundant in the waters of the 

 Galapagos Islands. 



Lagena perlucida (Montagu), var. 

 Plate 46, Figs. 3, 4 



The form represented by the figured specimens is difficult to place. 

 It may be a variety of L. perlucida (Montagu) with the base having a 

 few short, projecting spines rather than definite costae. 



Stations: A-2, Or. 9, Or. 10, 114, 1006, 1125, 1149, 460, 506, 542, 

 556, 603, 607, 608, 609, 613, 615, 622, 655, and 664. 



Distribution. — Beginning with Station A-2, Wrangell, Alaska, in 

 8 fms. southward off the coast of Oregon in 35-58 fms., four stations off 

 southern California in 30 to 132 fms., one station off James Island in 

 lj6 fms. and three stations off South America constitute the records thus 

 far for this species in the shallow waters of the Eastern Pacific, the 

 average depth being 45 fms. Stations 603-664 represent collections taken 

 in many parts of the world with an average depth of 8 fms.
