Description. — Test elongate, slender, tapering, straight or more 

 often slightly curved, composed of numerous chambers, slightly 

 inflated toward the apical end but later ones becoming more inflated ; 

 sutures oblique; aperture radiate somewhat eccentric, elongate some- 

 what; surface smooth. 



Length up to 3 mm. or more. 



Distribution. — Goes records this species at three stations in the 

 eastern Pacific, Albatross, D3376, in 1,132 fathoms; D3400, in 1,322 

 fathoms; and H2627, in 1,839 fathoms. Bagg records it from the 

 vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, D4000, in 104-213 fathoms; D4025, 

 in 275-368 fathoms; H4430, in 1,544 fathoms; and H4566, in 572 

 fathoms. I have had material from numerous stations well scat- 

 tered over the region between San Francisco and Hawaii, near 

 Guam, several stations between Guam and Yokohama, and several 

 stations off the coast of Japan. The shallowest depth is 124 fathoms 

 and the deepest 2,615 fathoms. 



Many very different forms have often been included in this species, 

 and it may be questioned whether Brady was really correct in placing 

 our recent material with d'Orbigny's Cretacean species.
