Description. — Test composed of a subglobular proloculum and 

 long undivided second chamber, at first planospiral like Ammodiscus, 

 but soon leaving the one plane and becoming irregularly coiled; wall 

 of fine arenaceous material with cement predominating ; color reddish 

 or yellowish brown. 



Diameter, 0.25 to 0.90 mm. 



Distribution. — This is more common than G. cJiaroides and is very 

 widely distributed. It is not found in any great numbers, however. 

 It is known from the Arctic, from the coasts of Great Britain and 

 France, the Mediterranean, South Atlantic, and on the western side 

 of the North Atlantic from off Nantucket Shoals, Albatross D2041, 

 1,608 fathoms, and south of Marthas Vineyard, D2568, in 1,781 

 fathoms. I have seen material from seven other Albatross stations, 

 four in the same general region, one off Havana, Cuba, one in the 

 northern part of the Gulf of Mexico, and the other off Pernambuco, 

 Brazil. Depths range from 167 to 1,608 fathoms, bottom tempera- 

 tures from 36.9° to 39° F., with a single station in the Gulf of Mexico 

 48.6° in 227 fathoms.
