all the specimens seen, and the complete test must be considerably 

 larger. There is some variation in the color and texture of the wall 

 and the comparative amount of spicules, depending somewhat upon 

 the bottom conditions. All the stations are in faMy deep water com- 

 pared with the shore conditions under which the other two known 

 species were found. Usually specimens were very numerous, making 

 up the large mass of the dredged material at the type station.
