(3,475 meters), and off the Cape of Good Hope, 150 fathoms (274 

 meters). He also gives records from the Pacific. It occurs rarely 

 about the British Isles, off Holy Island (Brady) ; estuary of the Dee 

 (Siddall) ; southwest of Ireland (Wright) ; off Bognor, Sussex (Ear- 

 land) ; Clare Island region of Ireland (Heron-Allen and Earland). 

 Goes recorded it from off the Azores, and Egger, in the Atlantic, 

 from off the Cape Verde Islands. There are numerous records for 

 its occurrence elsewhere but they are not included here. 



On the western side of the Atlantic the only records are those of 

 Brady. I have had no smooth Uvigerinae from the Albatross col- 

 lections, nor did Flint.

Description. — Test composed of a group of chambers, making a 

 test broadly rounded at the base and with an oval form, compact, 

 followed by one or two chambers somewhat detached from the gen- 

 eral mass; sutures slightly depressed; wall finely spinose, the 

 apertural end of the last-formed chamber somewhat drawn out into 

 a tapering neck, with a slightly phialine lip. 



Length slightly less than 1 mm. 



Distrihiition. — Brady described this species as a variety of U. 

 aspeimla Czjzek. His records in the Challenger report include in 

 the Atlantic a station to the south of Ireland in 725 fathoms (1,326 

 meters) ; off Culebra Island, West Indies, 390 fathoms (713 meters), 

 and off the coast of South America in 350-675 fathoms (640-1,234 

 meters). He also gives stations in the South Pacific 410-620 

 fathoms (750-1,134 meters). Flint's specimens were from off the 

 coast of Brazil. I have had specimens referable to this species 

 from the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and off the coast of Brazil. 



It is recorded from other parts of the world, especially in the 

 Pacific where it may occur.
