Extra details from original publication
Globigerina eggeri Rhumbler, 1901, and Globigerina conglomerata Schwager, 1866, are closely related. G. eggeri presents more chambers, 6 in last formed whorl, more globose with a more symmetrical umbilical aperture. G. conglomerata Egger, Tertiary India presents fewer chambers only four in last formed whorl and a different umbilical structure. The present species is between the two in number of chambers and in the size and structure of aperture. According to Dr. Cushman, in 1948 all at the following stations was to be labelled G. conglomerata Schwager. Brady’s material used by Rhumbler has a locality, north of San Fernandez, 1375 fms. However, as results of more comprehensive studies the more difficult it is to accept earlier identifications.
