TROPICAL, PACIFIC FORAMINIFERA OF ALBATROSS 25 



The species was originally described under the first two names by 

 d' Orbigny from the West Indies, where it is well distributed. Many 

 of the West Indian species occur in our Indo-Pacific material in 

 rather typical form.

Test about twice as long as broad, periphery subacute; chambers 

 distinct ; sutures depressed ; surface marked by a series of transverse 

 ridges and alternating excavations not involving the peripheral mar- 

 gin; aperture with a slight lip, rectangular, with a single tooth. 

 Length, 1-1.65 mm. ; breadth, 0.6-1 mm. ; thickness, 0.4-0.6 mm. 



This typically Indo-Pacific species, which from published records 

 has a wide range, occurs rather sparingly in our collections, although 

 it has occurred in few numbers at the following stations : Off the Fiji 

 Islands in 12 fathoms at Levuka, and at Mokaujar Anchorage; in 

 18 fathoms, Vavau Anchorage, Tonga Islands; Makemo Lagoon, 

 Paumotu Archipelago; Port Lotten, Kersail, Caroline Islands; and 

 Guam Anchorage, Ladrone Islands, in 21 fathoms. Specimens from 

 the last locality are the largest and best developed of all these, and 

 the figured specimens are from there.

 end extended beyond the previous outline, polygonal in transverse 

 section with the periphery either truncate and the angles somewhat 

 rounded, or with definite projecting carinae at the angles; sutures
