Genus CANDEINA. 
CANDEINA NITIDA d’Orbigny. 
Candeina nitida D’ORBIGNY, Foram. Cuba, 1839, p. 111, pl. 11, figs. 27, 28. 
Test trochoid with globose segments, along the junction of which 
are a series of pores which cover in a regular manner the entire 
sutural depressions. Shell white and shining and resembling Go- 
bigerina, but the pores so minute that they can not be seen except 
under very high power; the shell in this respect resembling Sphwroi- 
dina. The genus is represented by only this one species, and it is 
present both in surface and bottom material, with the thinner shell 
cover in the surface specimens. 
Reported not rare in dredgings from Funafuti, in the South 
Pacific, at depths of 50 to 200 fathoms. Abundant along with Glo- 
bigerine in every ooze we have studied, except at Stations D. 4017 
and H. 4579. Not known in the fossil condition. 
Family ROTALIIDL. 
Subfamily ROTALIIN A. 
Genus CYMBALOPORA. 
CYMBALOPORA POEYI (d’Orbigny). 
Rosalina poeyi D’ORBIGNY, Hocan Cuba, 1839, p. 100, pl. 111, figs. 18—20. 
This peculiar rotaliform genus has its most typical representation 
in the above species. It is known in two distinct types, one high and 
vaulted form the other strongly depressed. The first we observe fre- 
quently in several of our dredgings, particularly at Station 4025. 
The species is common in tropical coral sands. Found at Stations 
D. 4000, D. 4017. D. 4025, H. 4476, and H. 4696. Not known in the 
fossil state. 
DISCORBINA OBTUSA (d’Orbigny). 
Rosalina obtusa dD’ORBIGNY, Foram. Foss. Vien., 1846, p. 179, pl. x1, figs. 4-6. 
Test plano-convex, with superior surface, but little elevated. Su- 
tures depressed, shghtly curved on the superior surface and the mar- 
gin somewhat lobulated. The inferior surface shows but few cham- 
bers, with straight depressed septa reaching to the umbilicus. The 
striate aspect of this lower surface is not constant. 
Recorded and figured by Goes from material collected near Spitz- 
bergen at a depth of 40 meters. Parker and Jones record it as plenti- 
ful off the Hunde Islands, Davis Straits, 28 to 70 fathoms. Pro- 
fessor Brady reports it from off Ascension Islands, 420 fathoms.
