CUSHMAN: WOODS HOLE FORAMINIFERA. 23 
•ently limited to certain localities. It was found to be common at Fish 
Hawk station 76S3 and again in a similar haul from a sandy or slightly 
muddy bottom in Vineyard Sound, one and one half miles north of 
Menemsha Bight in 13 fathoms. The larger specimens found, have in 
some cases as many as seven arms. These are of very considerable 
length and are often bifurcate at the tips. When dry the delicate 
arms are easily broken away leaving the central disc with short pro- 
jections on its periphery. This is the largest of the Foraminifera of 
the region, measuring with the arms more than ten millimeters in the 
<'ase of the larger specimens. It has been recorded from the coast of 
Connecticut m 25 fathoms, and also from off the coast of jNIaine. It 
■occurs on the coast of northern Europe. 
LiTUOLIDAE. 
Reophax dentalimformis Brady. 
Reophax dentalinijormis Brady, '81, p. 49; '84, p. 293, pi. 30, figs. 21, 22. 
A very few specimens of this species were found in the region. 
They were dredged by the Fish Hawk at stations 7Gol and 7662. 
Although the species was supposed by Brady to be confined to deep 
water, the specimens dredged here were in every way t^q^ical, rather 
smooth, straight specimens with the tubular neck figured by Brady. 
The specimens were not at all like the ordinary form of Reophax 
■scorpiurus INIontfort. 
Haplophragmium canariense (d'Orbigny). 
Nonionina canariensis d'Orbigny, '39a, p. 128, pi. 2, figs. 33, 34. 
Haplophragtnium canariense Siddall, '79, p. 4; Brady, '84, p. 310, pi. 3.5, 
fig. 1-5; Flint, '99, p. 277, pi. 20, fig. 3. 
A few specimens of this species were found in material dredged by 
the Phalarope at station 79 off Pasque Island on a muddy bottom in 
5| fathoms, and from Fish Hawk station 7565 in Vineyard Somid 
near the southwestern point of Naushon Island. These two stations 
were not far apart and conditions were similar. Its occurrence in the 
shallow water near shore may be rare as these records would indicate, 
but it may easily be overlooked. It has been dredged by the Albatross 
in the deeper water south of Block Island. It is a common, species 
in the shallow water along the coast of Europe.
