coils being " barred." The periphery is subject to slight variation, 

 but none of my tests show it concave as in Chapman's work, 1907, 

 g- 6c.

A solitary example. It agrees well with the " Delos " specimen 

 which I treated as a variation of aS'. decorata Brady, and which 

 Chapman considers to be referable to his S. spimgcra (see Chapman, 

 1909, Foram. Subantarctic Islands, New Zealand, p. 353). It is 

 difficult to discover whether the superior surface is decorated or 

 not owing to granular matter, but I think there is evidence of it. 

 The inferior surface is covered with minute tubercles, and the 

 peripheral edge is very finely serrate.

Only small specimens occur. The number of lobes on the 

 inferior surface is four, with the exception of two cases where there 

 are only three. None of the tests are high-domed, like the 

 " Challenger " fig. 13, but appear to be weak forms of C. pceyi, var. 

 "Challenger" fig. 14.

The height of the spire varies. The peripheral edge is sharp. 

 Some of the specimens are very near to the " Challenger " figure of
