BULIMINA BUCHIANA d’Orbigny. 
Bulimina buchiana v'OrBiaNy, Foram. Foss. Vien. Basin, 1846, p. 186, pl. 
XI, figs. 15-18. 
Test triserial, short, strongly built, with well-defined ribs which 
extend to the lower margin of the ultimate chamber. Said to affect 
moderately deep water; Professor Brady reports it as abundant in 
the North Atlantic, rare in the South Atlantic, and common in the 
South Pacific. Not recorded from the North Pacific. Ranges from 
less than 100 down to over 2,000 fathoms. Occurs at Station H. 
4568, where it is not rare, and at Station H. 4585.

It is no wonder that this lhttle form has been described under va- 
rious genera—such as Ataxvophragmium, Pulvinulina, and .Cassidu- 
lina—for it possesses marked similarity of growth to all the above. 
Tt has, however, been rightly placed among the Bulimine, and its 
aperture alone justifies this as well as its buliminine method of 
erowth. | 
Most common in shoal waters of the South Pacific, but also known 
in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic. Present at Stations 
D. 4000, H. 4480, and H. 4555. Described among the fossil Foram- 
inifera of the Oligocene (Septaria clay) of Hermsdorf and _ the 
Miocene of Kostej, in the Banat.

An intermediate type between the costate Bulimina buchiana and 
the spinous B. aculeata and having a distribution similar to the 
former, but less common. It is widely distributed in the South 
Pacific and is present in waters of from less than 100 to over 2,400 
fathoms. We note this form from four stations, namely, H.: 4566, 
HA. 4567, H. 4568, and H. 4571. Reported in the Septaria clays of 
Germany and the later Tertiary of Italy. 
BULIMINA OVATA d’Orbigny.

13, 14. 
Bulimina ovata, B. affinis, and B. pupoides belong to one closely 
related group distinguishable by such minor features as length and 
outline of the test, and in the relief of the chambers forming the
