I, Is}, B34 160) ae, 
A cosmopolitan foraminifer known at all depths and in every 
ocean. An arenaceous type becoming much elongated in the coral 
reefs of the tropics and treated as a variety, 7. agglutinans porrecta, 
in the Challenger report. Found at Stations D, 4000, D. 4017, D. 
4025, and H. 4502. Not abundant. 
TEXTULARIA ASPERA Brady. 
Textularia aspera BRravy, Proe. Roy. Soe. Hdin., XI, 1882, p. 715. 
This species was established by Brady to include very coarsely 
arenaceous dark colored Vextulariw characterized by oblong, com- 
pressed form composed of few segments. Obtained by the Challenger 
from five stations in the North Atlantic, 390 to 530 fathoms; three 
in the South Atlantic, 350 to 1,485 fathoms; and two in the South 
Pacific, 175 and 210 fathoms. Found at Station D. 4000, depth 104 
{o 213 fathoms. 
TEXTULARIA FOLIUM Parker and Jones. 
Textularia folium PARKER and JONES, Phil. Trans., CLY, 1865, pp. 370, 429, 
fOllg Syne, ines, I). 
The depths recorded in the Challenger report for this species vary 
from shore sand at Melbourne to 255 fathoms off the Fiji Islands. 
Our specimen comes from Station D. 4017, at a depth of 305 fathoms. 
The species 1s not known in the fossil state, and its present distribu- 
tion is apparently quite restricted.
