Description. — Test stout, cylindrical, the early triserial portion not 

 well shown exteriorly, the later uniserial portion of few chambers, 

 large, distinct, with well-defined, depressed sutures ; wall arenaceous, 

 composed of a mixture of coarse and fine material, but usually with 

 a smooth exterior; aperture circular, often at the end of a short neck, 

 usually with a single valvular tooth; color light gray. 



Length up to 5 mm. 



Distribution.— Brsidj records this species from four stations in the 

 North Atlantic, off Gomera, Canaries, 620 fathoms (1,134 meters); 

 off Sombrero Island, West Indies, 450 fathoms (823 meters) ; off 

 Bermuda, 435 fathoms (796 meters); off the Azores, 450 fathoms 

 (823 meters), and one station in the South Atlantic east of Buenos 

 Aires, 1,900 fathoms (3,475 meters). I have failed to find this spe- 

 cies in the Albatross material from the western Atlantic. Woodward 

 records it from shallow water. Shelly Bay, Bermuda. ' I have seen 

 no specimens referable to this in the Bermuda material I have had. 



It is recorded at several stations in the Pacific.
