exposed chamber extends more to the front. There is a curious 

 resemblance between my figure and Goes', fig. 374, pi. x, Eet. 

 Ehiz. Caribbean Sea, 1882, except as regards the position of the- 

 aperture, but there is a great difference in the faces of our tests. 

 Goes considers his form to be an irregular triloculine form of 

 M. ringens Lamarck.

The tests are small and highly polished. Two appear to have 

 no tooth in the aperture, and in this respect they agree with the 

 type form, but the others have the aperture blocked with what 

 looks like granular substance, and in these the aperture may be 

 cribrate.

Some of the tests are of larger size than the Delos specimens, 

 and there is a slight difference in colour and in the appearance of 

 the surface. The Delos specimens in my cabinet show signs of 

 deterioration, and it appears to be a difticult species to preserve. 

 My illustrations in the Delos paper are not satisfactory, and 

 Heron-Allen and Earland in their Kerimba work give a much 

 better representation. They consider S. ovata to be closely allied 

 to S. edu-ardsi Schlumberger. The specimens in my collection, 

 which I take to be typical >S'. cdivardsi, differ from aS'. ovata, both 

 in contour and in the texture of the surface. The former has a 

 highly polished test to which Schlumberger draws particular 

 attention.
