Excerpt from A Monograph of the Foraminifera of the North Pacific Ocean, Vol. 71: Part 1. Astrorhizid??? and Lituolid??? The collection of recent Foraminifera in the United States National Museum has been carefully studied in so far as it represents the area in question. From the work of the various vessels of the Navy Department, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the Bureau of Fish eries a mass of material has accumulated which has been of great value in this work. A more detailed account of these collections will be given later. There have been few works dealing with the Foraminifera of this area, and such records as exist have been included here. Except where acknowledgment is given, the figures have been drawn by the writer from material in the collection of the U. S. National Museum or have been reproduced from photographs taken at the National Mu seum of specimens in the same collection. Where recorded species are not well represented in the collection, figures from other works have been used and due acknowledgment given. A considerable number of changes in the nomenclature and syste matic arrangement have been made in an attempt to separate more clearly species and groups which, after a study of this material, seem to be distinctive. I wish to express my great appreciation of the kindness with which the U. S. National Museum and its staff have so freely met my various needs in the preparation of this work.
