average being 42 fms. Two records off the Channel Islands, Stations 

 1068 and 1195, are in 39 and 50 fms. respectively. One record. Station 

 227, is off Mexico in 200 fms. Off South America, Stations 543 and 547 

 are 50 and 40 fms. respectively, more specimens seemed to be present in 

 Tagus Cove in 80 fms. 



Lagena striatopunctata Parker and Jones, 



var. gemma Cushman and McCulloch, new variety 



Plate 47, Fig. 16 



Variety differing from the typical form in the perforated costae being 

 more numerous, low and rounded, leaving almost no intercostal areas, 

 and thus the test appears to be almost entirely covered with beading in 

 longitudinal lines. 



Holotype of variety (AHF no. 74) from Station 468. 



Somewhat similar forms are figured by Millett from the Malay 

 Archipelago (Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc, 1901, p. 489, pi. 8, fig. 6) and by 

 Sidebottom from the Southwest Pacific (Journ. Quekett Micr. Club, 

 ser. 2, vol. 11, 1912, p. 392, pi. 16, figs. 7, 8, 10) but our specimens differ 

 in having a rounded, not truncated, base. 



Stations : A-20, 256, 2008, 2035, 2097, 466, 468, 573, and 583. 



Distribution. — Station 468, the type locality, is one-half mile south 

 of Black Beach, Charles Island, in 20 fms. Additional records include 

 A-20, Anderson Bay, Alaska, shore collecting. Stations 256-2097 are all 

 off Mexico with a depth range of 38 to 70 fms. with the average being 65 

 fms. Station 466 is off Charles Island in 23 fms. and two stations are off 

 South America in 15 and 10 fms. respectively. Specimens were not numer- 

 ous at any of the stations.
