a long spinous projection placed asymmetrically, apertural end of

Length up to 5 mm. 



Distribution. — Specimens of this species were very common at 

 Albatross station D5236, in 494 fathoms (903 metei-s) Pacific Ocean, 

 off eastern coast of Mindanao, bottom temperature 41.2° F. (5.1° C), 

 and D5121 in 108 fathoms (198 meters), off the east coast of Mndoro. 



Some of our specimens were almost identical with the specimens 

 figured by Schwager. His specimens were from the Nicobar Islands — 

 a fossil foraminiferal fauna, which, as has already been noted, is very 

 closely related to that of the waters of the Philippines.
