Jobnson 3fuu&TWO NEW FORAMINIFERA OF THE GENUSTEXTULARIABy Cecil G. LalickerCushman Laboratory for Foraminijeral Research, Sharon, Mass.(With One Plate)In the collections of the Johnson-Smithsonian Deep-Sea Expeditionof the cruise of 1933 have been found two species of the genus Tex-tiilaria, which are apparently undescribed forms.TEXTULARIA CALVA, n. sp.Plate I, figs. I, 2Test very large, elongate, roughly triangular in front and side views,almost circular in end view, initial end slightly compressed, pointed inthe microspheric form, and rounded in the megalospheric form
;
chambers numerous, low and broad, increasing in height gradually asadded ; sutures indistinct except in early portion, somewhat depressed,straight, and slightly oblique ; wall coarsely arenaceous, composed ofsand grains and calcareous fragments, very roughly finished except onapertural face, where it is rather smoothly finished ; aperture, a verylow, broad opening at the base of the inner margin of the last-formedchamber; color gray. Length of holotype 1.60 mm; width 1.04 mm;thickness i.OO mm.Holotype.—U.S.N.M. no. 26179; f^om station 25, latitude i8°32'15" N., longitude 66°22'io" W. to latitude i8°32'o5" N., longitude66°22'io" W., 240 to 300 fathoms.In addition to the type locality, I have specimens from station 13,latitude i8°3i'o5" N.", longitude 66°02'i5"W. to latitude i8°3o'30" N., longitude 66°04'o5" \N ., 200 to 300 fathoms; and station 93,latitude i8°38'oo" N., longitude 65°09'3o" W. to latitude i8°37'45"N., longitude 65°05'oo" W., 350 to 400 fathoms.This species is similar in some respects to Textnlaria gocsii Cushmanfrom the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands. T. gocsii differs,however, in being more smoothly finished, in having curved sutures, aflattish apertural face, and in having the upper edge of each chamberslightly overhanging.Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 91, No. 22
2 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 9ITEXTULARIA LATERALIS, n. sp.Plate I, figs. 3-5Test subtriangular in outline, slightly longer than wide, somewhatcompressed, subrhomboidal in end view, periphery subacute to spinose
;
chambers numerous, about twice as wide as high, usually rounded atthe periphery, but terminating in short, conical spines in some speci-mens, especially near the initial end, upper margin of chamber veryslightly overhanging; sutures distinct, slightly depressed, gently curvedin an anterior direction ; wall finely arenaceous and rather smoothlyfinished ; aperture a very low opening at the base of the inner marginof the last-formed chamber, with a short lip at the upper edge. Lengthof holotype 0.71 mm ; width 0.70 mm ; thickess 0.31 mm.Holotype.—U.S.N.M. no. 26176; from station 25, latitude i8°32'15" N., longitude 66°22'io" W. to latitude i8°32'o5" N., longitude66°22'io" W., 240 to 300 fathoms.Several specimens have also been found at station 13, latitude i8°3i'05" N., longitude 66°02'i5" W. to latitude i8°3o'3o" N., longitude66°04'o5" W., 200 to 300 fathoms; and at station 93, latitude i8°38'00" N., longitude 65°09'3o"W. to latitude i8°37'45" N., longitude65°o5'oo" W., 350 to 400 fathoms.EXPLANATION OF PLATEFigs, i, 2.
