tubercles on the test making the sutures indistinct; peripheral cham- 

 bers arranged in annular rings, distinct; sutures somewhat depressed; 



apertures lipped. 



Diameter up to 3 mm. 

 Distribution. — Brady records this species 

 from the coral reefs of Honolulu, Hawaiian 

 Islands, at a depth of 40 fathoms, and from 

 the Chinese Sea. I have had specimens 

 from Gaspar Straits, collected by the North 

 Pacific Exploring Expedition, Capt. John 

 Rodgers, and from Albatross station H4882 

 in 248 fathoms, bottom temperature 48.8° 

 F. off Blake Reef, in Colnett or Vincennes 

 Strait, off Southern Japan. This is essen- 

 tially a species of warm shallow waters and 

 it is interesting to find it in this region 

 where so many species of this same general 

 character have appeared.
