The above references will give the rather wide records for this 

 species, and the figures given in them will show what a wide range of 

 form has been assigned to this species. The specimens we have 

 referred to it from the South Pacific collection are similar to those 

 figured in which the apertural end is truncate and the opposite end 

 tapering to a slight spine, the body of the test either entirely covered 

 with very fine costae or the apertural end somewhat smooth. Our 

 specim.ens are from Albatross Stations H3855, northwest point of 

 Apataki, 1 mile SE., in 654 fathoms, and H3965, Apaiang Atoll, in 

 line with north point of Tarawa, 2 miles N., in 170 fathoms.

The peculiar form here figured seems to belong to this species 

 figured by Rymer-Jones from his collections from Java. There is a 

 peculiar ornamentation of the surface, which apparently is variable 

 in different specimens. The base itself is broadly rounded with a 

 tubular spine, and the apertural end slightly extended into a very
