Description. — Test elongate, slightly arcuate, composed of numer- 

 ous short chambers, sutures projecting, of clear shell material, proloc- 

 ulum bulbous, apertural end of chamber tapering to a rounded point, 

 wall smooth. 



Length up to 8 mm. 



Distribution. — Type specimens (No. 9109, U.S.N.M.) from Albatross 

 station D5236 in 494 fathoms (903 meters). Pacific Ocean, east 

 coast of Mindanao, bottom temperature 41.2° F. (5.1° C). It also 

 occuiTed at Albatross station D5121, in 108 fathoms (198 meters), 

 east coast of Mindoro. 



This species is a very peculiar one, the sutures being limbate, of 

 clear shell material, standing out wider in side view than the chambers 

 themselves, which are concaved between the sutures instead of in- 

 flated, as is usually the case in this genus.
