The examples of this species are few, small, and ill-developed, but 

 they are found scattered over the whole region. They vary in the 

 direction of B. subcylindrica.

The examples agree with those of the ' Challenger ' dredgings in 

 having the shell-wall conspicuously foraminated, but are devoid of the 

 aboral stout spine, and the chambers have a tendency to overlap, in 

 this respect resembling those of B. marginata. Brady writes that it 

 " is a rare species, occurring at only two of the ' Challenger ' stations, 

 both in the Pacific, namely, the Hyalonema-ground south of Japan, 

 ."45 fathoms, where it is tolerably plentiful, and off Aru Islands, 

 8C0 fathoms." 



There are two ' Gazelle ' stations at which it occurs, both off the 

 West Coast of Australia. 



It is common in the Malay Archipelago, and is found at many 

 of the stations in both areas.

This variable, but at the same time easily recognised species, is 

 very abundant in the Malay Archipelago, and is widely diffused in 

 both areas. It occurs in all its varieties, ranging from the compact 

 build identical with that of the sandy B. Presli to the elongated 

 form figured. 



As an illustration of the persistency of this species in time, it may 

 be mentioned that there would be little difficulty in selecting from the
