sand and a brownish cement, slightly roughened <>n the outside; 

 color, yellowish brown, white about the aperture. 



Length up to 2.5 mm. 



Type-specimen. Cat. No. 8221, (J.S.N.M., from Albatross station 

 5236, off the eastern coast of Mindanao; 4!)1 fathoms. 



This differs from other species of the genus in its oval, closely 

 connected chambers, in its small aperture, and 

 rather pointed apertural end. 



HORMOSINA ELONGATA, new species. 



Description. — Test elongate, nearly straight, com- 

 posed of a sei'ies of elongate chambers; largesl 

 diameter near the base of each chamber, thence 

 gradually narrowing toward the apertural end; wall 

 rather thick, composed of fine material with much 



cement, smoothly finished ; ap- 



©^5% erture rather small, elliptical; 



*;.:•* color, reddish brown, lighter 

 about the aperture. 



Length 5 to 10 mm. 



Type-spt c imen. — C a t . No. 

 8263, U.S.N.M., from Albatross 

 station 5236, off the eastern 

 coast of Mindanao; 494 fathoms. 



This species is much more elongate in regard 

 to its entirety and in its individual chambers 

 than other species of the genus. Tts nearest re- 

 lated species seems to be Hormosina carpenteri 

 II. B. Brady, but the curvature of the test and 

 the shape of the chambers is very different. 



SPH^ERAMMINA, new genus. 



Description. -Test composed of a series of 

 chambers, the one last formed completely en- 

 veloping the preceding ones, but the axis straight ; 

 wall arenaceous. 



Type of the genus. SpJiserammina ovalis, new 

 species. 



This genus strongly reminds one of Ellip- 

 soidina, but there is an arenaceous wall, and the 

 connections between the apertural ends of the 

 chambers are indistinct or wanting. With its straight axis it belongs 

 to the Reophacinae and holds a relation to Reophax and Hormosina 

 similar to that which Glandulina holds to Nodosaria.
