This species is very abundant in the present sounding, 

 and it attains the unusually large size of 2-3 mm. in diameter. 

 Besides the typical specimens there are some which seem to 

 link, by their depressed superior face, the above species with 

 a form like T. prcBcincta, Karrer, or T. dittemplei, d'Orb. sp. 

 It is somewhat singular, considering its abundance, that this 

 species has not hitherto been recorded from the locality.

A few specimens of a plano-convex form were met with. 

 They are not quite typical, in having the limbate sutures only 

 feebly developed. 



Flint records T. pracincta from the Gulf of Mexico, at 

 169 and 196 fathoms, and Millett from the Malay Archipelago.

One specimen having a more than usually truncatulinoid 

 test occurred in our sample. 



A. polymorpha has already been obtained by the '.' Chal- 

 lenger " west of New Zealand, at 275 fathoms.
