forming the connection; surface ornamented on the upper portion 

 with delicate costae, the remainder of the test spinose; aperture at 

 tlie end of a long cylindrical neck which tapers to the small aperture, 

 the outside of the neck spinose. 



Length up to 2.50 mm. 



Distribution. — Brady's original records are Challenger station 33, 

 off Bermuda, 435 fathoms (796 metei-s), and station 122, southwest of 

 Pernambuco, Brazil, 350 fathoms (640 metei-s). Flint's station was 

 in the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico, at a depth of 68 fathoms 

 (125 meters). In the Albatross collections specimens have also oc- 

 curred off the Carolina coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in the 

 Caribbean. 



It is probable that the specimens from the Philippines that I have 

 referred to this species are not the same.^^
