Nodosaria lepidula Schwager, iVovara-Exped., Geol. Theil., pt. 2, 1866, p. 210, 

 pi. 5, figs. 27, 28. 



Description. — Test elongate, straight, tapering gradually to the 

 acute initial end, chambers numerous, about as long as wide, chambers 

 well separated by deep sutures, wall with an ornamentation consist- 

 ing of a ring of short costae or spines about the widest portion of the 

 chamber, aperture with a phialine lip, with a flange below the extreme 

 top. 



Length up to 2 mm. 



Distnhution. — Specimens were common at Albatross station Do236, 

 in 494 fathoms (903 meters), Pacific Ocean, off east coast of Min- 

 danao, bottom temperature 41.2 ° F. (5.1° C). 



Some of the figures referred by Brady to Sagrina seem to belong to 

 this species. Our specimens were nearly identical in all characters 

 with those figured by Schwager from the Nicobar Islands.
