But few specimens of this species were foimd. They were from Phal- 
arope station 136 in Buzzards Bay and Fish Hawk station 7776. 
Each specimen consists of a single adherent chamber made up of 
fine grains of a grayish white color and the whole hemispherical in 
shape and with a fairly smooth surface. There is no visible aperture. 
In all cases they were found attached to large sand grains. Their 
color, small size, and attachment to the sand grains make specimens 
of this species very easily overlooked. In Europe the species has 
been dredged a few times off the coast of Great Britain in water from 
25 to 33 fathoms in depth. Little is known of its distribution elsewhere. 
It is interesting to find that this species occurs also on this side of the 
Atlantic. 
MiLIOLINIDAE.

A single fine specimen was obtained from material dredged by the 
Phalarope at station 85. This was in Buzzards Bay off Quicks Hole. 
This species is a southern one in its range, occurring more commonly 
ofl" our southern Atlantic coast. The specimen found was a very 
typical one but no others w^ere discovered although a careful search 
was made in the material from the adjacent stations. Single specimens 
were found in case of other species also, which may indicate that they 
are extremely rare in this region. 
Biloculina ringens (Lamarck).

This is a common species throughout the region on various kinds 
of bottom. It was noticed at sixteen representative stations in Vine- 
yard Sound and Buzzards Bay at varying depths. It is one of the
