pi. 29, fig. 6. 



Description. — Test elongate, tapering, circular or quadrangular in 

 end view, apex bluntly pointed, apertural end concave; chambers 

 numerous, slightly inflated; sutures indistinct, very slightly com- 

 pressed, wall coarsely arenaceous, rough; aperture rather small, 

 semicircular, in the center of the inner margin of the last-formed 

 chamber; color gray. 



Length up to 3 or 4 mm. 



Distribution. — Type-specimen (U.S.N.M. No. 17019) from Alba- 

 tross station D2134. Brady referred the Challenger material from 

 two stations to this species. These are off Culebra Island, 390 

 fathoms (713 meters), and off the coast of South America, southeast 

 of Pernambuco, Brazil, 350 fathoms (640 meters). Specimens from 

 Albatross station D2314, in 159 fathoms (291 meters), off the coast of 

 Georgia, are very similar to those figured by Brady. Smaller speci- 

 mens, evidently the young of this species, occurred at a number of 

 stations off the coast of Georgia, from Florida, Cuba, and Yucatan, 

 and off the eastern coast of Brazil. There is a Challenger record in 

 the "Summary of Results" volume, off Bermuda. Specimens have 

 been referred to this species from numerous localities, both fossil and 

 recent, but in the western Atlantic it has such a definite form and 

 character that it seems that material from outside this area should 

 be carefully examined to see if it is really the same as this species or 

 the Cretaceous one of d'Orbigny. Pearcey refers specimens from 

 the warm area of Faroe Channel and Heron-Allen and Earland speci- 

 mens from the west of Scotland to this species. Flint's specimens 

 which I have examined, marked T. conica, from D2641, off Carysfort 

 Light, Florida, belong here.
