 P. imperatrix Brady, 1884, Chall. Rept., p. 738, pi. ex, figs. 13-15. 



Three small tests, which are not typical. 



They carry several spines, but the limbate septal lines and 

 retral bars are irregular and very pronounced for the size of the 

 test, partaking much more of the character of P. verriculata than 

 of the typical P. imperatrix. The specimens might with equal 

 propriety be considered as a spinous form of P. verriculata. 

 Until more examples are found I have thought it best to put 

 a query.

Two occur. They are small and not typical, but I think there 

 is no doubt that they are a variety of this evidently variable 

 species. Each has only seven chambers in the outer whorl, and 

 is slightly inequilateral, one face being slightly convex, and the 

 other more flattened. The tests are also more compressed than»in
