352 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 6 



Distribution. — ^With two exceptions all of these stations are off the 

 Channel Islands in 47 to 212 fms. with 65 fms. being the average depth. 

 Stations 299 and 2070 off Mexico are 82 and 250 fms. in depth respec- 

 tively. Specimens of this species were not abundant in any of the col- 

 lections. 



Lagena striatopunctata Parker and Jones, 



van excentricitas Cushman and McCulloch, new variety 



Plate 47, Figs, 12, 13 



Variety differing from the typical form in the axis of the test decided- 

 ly bent at the apertural end, and the costae fewer and more prominent. 



Holotype of variety (AHF no. 72) from Station 468. 



This varietal form in our material seems rather distinctive but like 

 the other varieties shows a considerable degree of variation. It is some- 

 what like specimens from the Tropical Pacific referred to L. desmophora 

 Rymer-Jones (Cushman, Bull. 161, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 1933, pi. 7, 

 figs. 11-14) but the present form has fewer costae and a more rounded 

 base. 



Stations: 1160, 1246, 329, 409, 414, 435, 461, 468, 472, 473, and 

 474. 



Distribution. — Station 468, the type locality is Charles Island one- 

 half mile south of Black Beach in 20 fms. Stations 409 through 474 are 

 additional records from the Galapagos Islands with a range of 15 to 175 

 fms., the average being 56. 



Lagena striatopunctata Parker and Jones, 

 var. cista Cushman and McCulloch, new variety 

 Plate 47, Figs. 14, 15 



Variety differing from the typical form in the axis of the test de- 

 cidedly bent at the apertural end, in having somewhat fewer but very 

 distinct costae and the intermediate wall areas nearly filling the inter- 

 costal space and flush with the costae as shown in end view, the wall in 

 between the costae almost transparent, and the main body of the test 

 elongate box-shaped with the walls parallel in their middle parts. 



Holotype of variety (AHF no. 73) from Station 461. 



Stations: 1068, 1195, 227, 411, 417, 460, 461, 466, 468, 473, 478, 

 543, and 547. 



Distribution. — Station 461, the type locality is Tagus Cove, Albe- 

 marle Island, in 80 fms. Additional records in the Galapagos Islands are 

 Stations 460 through 478 showing a depth range of 16 to 80 fms., the
