"Mr. Millett's species is described as 'rare' from the Pliocene of 

 St. Erth, and Dr. Chaster found three specimens of L. depressa at 

 Southport. We have one specimen of L. cyinbula from Station 13, 

 but have met with, others in ' Goldsecker ' dredgings from Noss Head 

 in the Moray Firth (72 meters) which are hirger than the Ciare 

 Island specimen. It also occurs in a dredging made by the Fisheries 

 Cruiser 'Huxley' in the English North Sea (Haul 869), to which 

 Avo are referring elsewhere, and in company with L. depressa Chas- 

 ter, in Scapa Flov»', Orkney." 



The above is the original description, with notes by Heron- Allen 

 and Earland. They also record a single specimen from the west of 

 Scotland.

Description. — Test elongate, the main body of the test fusiform, 

 the sides nearly parallel in the central portion, apertural end taper- 

 ing into a very long slender neck with a phialine lip, the other end 

 tapering into a long acicular spine which is hollow part way to the 

 end ; surface of the test smooth except for slightly raised fine costae, 

 6-10 in number; wall thin and transparent. 



Length up to 2.50 mm. 



Distribution. — In the western Atlantic this species is fairly com- 

 mon at some of the Albatross stations off the eastern coast of the 

 United States, with a few stations in the Caribbean. 



There are numerous records for this species off the coast of the 

 British Isles. In the Summary of Results of the Challenger Expe- 

 dition the species is recorded from the Atlantic at two stations, off 

 the eastern coast of the United States, in the same general region 

 where the Albatross material occurs in considerable abundance. It 

 is also known from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, off the Island of
