Test flask-shaped, slender, neck obliquely set on the test itself; 

 wall ornamented by several longitudinal costae with tubulations 

 appearing at the surface in a series of chainlike openings; aperture at 

 the end of the neck, often with a slightly expanded lip. Length, up to 

 0.4 mm; diameter, 0.1 mm. 



Later authors have referred numerous forms to this species originally 

 described by Rymer-Jones from the Java Sea. He gives two figures, 

 the first of wliich has the obUque neck and the truncate base similar 

 to the specimens figured here, but his other figure has a rounded base 

 and the neck is not oblique. Much more rounded forms with chain- 

 like costae have also been referred to this species. Our specimens 

 are all of the typical form given by Rymer-Jones in his Figure 23, and 

 four of them are figured on our plate. All our specimens are from 

 shallow water, and the species did not occur at all in any of the 

 Albatross soundings, seeming to indicate that the species is one of 

 shallow water in the general Indo-Pacific region. 



The localities for our specimens are as follows : Mokaujar Anchorage, 

 Fiji; 40-50 fathoms off Fiji; and 21 fathoms, Guam Anchorage, 

 Ladrone Islands.

Test flask-shaped, not compressed, the apertural end extended 

 into a long tapering neck, ornamentation of the test consisting of a 

 few costae, which are tubulated and form a distinct spiral from the 

 base to the neck. Maximum length, 0.4 mm; diameter, 0.15 mm. 



This is a distinctly Indo-Pacific species, occurring usually in shoal 

 water. It is recorded from the Southwest Pacific by Sidebottom, 

 from the Kerimba Archipelago of southeast Africa by Heron-Allen 

 and Earland, from Funafuti by Chapman, and from the Malay 

 Archipelago by Millett. The specimens recorded by Chaster ^ are 

 evidently not the same as the Indo-Pacific species. The types are 

 from the Challenger station off Raine Island, Torres Strait, at 155
