 Descrijftion. — Test subglobular, or slightly pj^riform, broadest 

 toward the base, apertural end truncate, with an entosolenian neck, 

 base often with a short projection; surface with very fine longi- 

 tudinal markings, often indistinct; surface dull. 

 Length up to 0.25 mm. 



Distribution. — This species, originally described by Williamson, 

 occurs at a large number of stations off the British Isles. The 

 figures of specimens from other regions seem to show that they are 

 not identical with the British specimens. I have failed to find any 

 typical specimens except in the British material that I have had. 

 This is from oft' Baltimore, southwest of Ireland, in 26 fathoms (48 

 meters).

T) esGTi'ption. — Test subglobular, or somewhat compressed; wall 

 fairly thick; surface smooth, basal portion furnished with two or 

 more long spines. 



Length without the spines up to nearly 1 mm, ; spines often longer 

 than the length of the test, 



Distrihution. — Brady figures several forms under this specific 

 name, all of which are marked by elongate spines from the basal 

 portion of the test. Flint's figures from the Alhatross collections 

 show specimens very much like those I have figured here. So far as I 

 have seen in the Albatross material from the western Atlantic, the 

 specimens typically have two very long divergent spines, their centers 

 hollow. Egger gives figures of this species but they are not at all
