MORPHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES During examination of both Arctic and Antarctic BETWEEN ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC foraminiferal faunas, I noticed, on the contrary, that distinct differences do occur in G. pachyderma POPULATIONS from the two areas. The purpose of this paper is The fo ll owing comparisons are tabulated between to describe these differences and to discuss briefly G. pachyderma populations in the Antarctic area their possible significance.

In­ as phenotypic variations reflecting environmental deed, Arctic populations have more in common differences in the two oceans. If this is the case, it with subAntarctic populations than with Antarctic is difficult to explain why the Arctic form of G. populations (Kennett, 1968). It is important to pachyderma is more like the subAntarctic form, note that the Arctic forms described in this paper since Arctic water masses are more like those of are mature, relatively thickly encrusted forms, and the Antarctic than the subAntarctic. should not be confused with thin-shelled, immature Unfortunately, since little is known about G. forms characteristi c of relatively shallow Arctic pachyderma in other northern hemisphere areas, it waters (Be, 1960).

Another very strong difference, and in the writ­ er's opinion a very significant one, is a sharp de­ crease in turbulence with depth. Bottom photo­
