Iwii different forms can be recognized in this species, which are connected by transitional 



typical form ol Heteropsammia michelini has according to Milne-Edwards and 



Haimi th<- septa of the first, second and third cycles equal, exsert and thickened. In the other 



form these septa are hardly thicker than those of the higher cycles and they are not exsert, 



which is very conspicuous. The granules of the ribs are also iïner, so that the Hbs are not so 



rly visible.
