 Zoology, vol. 9. 1884, p. 169, pi. 4, fig. 9. 



Description. — ^Test triloculine, after a typical early quinqueloculine 

 development, then in the adult planospiral; wall highly polished, 

 with numerous fine longitudinal and slightly oblique costae; aper- 

 ture large with a thickened lip and large tooth, complex in the adult. 



Diameter up to 3 mm. 



Distribution. — ^Type specimen (Cat. No. 10851, U. S. N. M.) from 

 Albatross station D5192, off northern Cebu, in 32 fathoms (59 meters).

This is an abundant species in the Philippines at numerous sta- 

 tions, and is evidently the species which Brady figures, although only 

 a partially developed specimen is figured by liim. In the develop- 

 ment of the tooth of this species, figures of which are given in the 

 plates, there is first the typical single tooth of Quinqueloculina, fol- 

 lowed by a bifid tooth characteristic of Triloculina; then is developed 

 a large rounded plate-like portion, which becomes united to the 

 border of the aperture by several projections, and later the circular 

 plate itself becomes perforated in the center and serves largely as the 

 aperture in the adult. This is one of the most complex developments 

 of the aperture in the family and is very similar to that found in 

 Quinqueloculina alhatrossi. 



F. bradyana has occurred at 22 stations; one of these at San Luis, 

 Apra Bay, Guam, in shallow water; the others, except D5613, Gulf 

 of Tomini, Celebes, are m the Archipelago and the following locali-
