Both the megalospheric and microspheric forms 'are present. 

 The initial planospiral portion of the test is much larger in the 

 megalospheric than in the microspheric form, and the chambers of 

 the Textularian series are more erect. The test also is very much 

 shorter and its edges are markedly sinuous. 



_ Fig. 23 shows the smallest of the specimens found in the 

 microspheric condition, but it is the only one from which the 

 planospiral chambers have not been broken off. The longest 

 example consists of about seventy-two chambers, thirty -six in 

 either series, exclusive of the planospherical portion which is 

 missing. 



Under the name Spiropiecta hulhosa Cushman (1911, Monograph 

 N. Pacific Ocean, pt. ii, TextularitUe, p. 5, figs. 1, a, h) figures a form 

 which seems to be the same as Millett's illustration in the above 

 reference. If they are identical it will be a matter of opinion 

 whether or not they should be treated as a new species. 



Spiropiecta biformis (Parker and Jones).

The examples are small and slender, similar to the " Challeuser "■

The tests are short, the Spiroplectine portion occupving about 

 one-third of the length of the shell. All appear to ' be in the 

 megalospheric condition.
