Det^cripfloii. —Tef^i elongate, tapoiing, ])roa(lest near the apertural 

 end, early portion witli numerous long aculeate spines, later portion 

 smooth; chambers fairly numerous, tumid, those of the early portion 

 largely hidden by the numerous spines; sutures much depressed, 

 wall calcareous, perforate, in the young specimens tran.slucent, thin, 

 in the older ones thickened and becoming opaque; aperture slightly 

 curved, loop-like opening, in a slight depr<'ssion of the ventral lace 

 of the chamber; color white. 



Length 0.40-1.25 mm. 



Distribution. — -In the Albatross material from the western Atlantic 

 this has occurred at a large number of stations, ranging from the 

 cold water south of Nova Scotia do^^^l the coast to the region of 

 Carolina. There is another group of stations in the northern part 

 of the Gulf of Mexico and scattered stations in tlu^ Caribbean. 

 Goes records it from the Caribbean also. Flint had it from off 

 Panama, in the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico, and south of 

 Nova Scotia. The ClialleiKjer records include one station off our 

 eastern coast, off the West Indies, one off northwestern Africa, and 

 another off the coast of Brazil. These range in depth from 150 to 

 2,740 fathoms (274 to 5,011 meters). Brady, Parker, and Jones 

 record it from off the Abrohlos Bank in 40 to 260 fathoms (73 to 476 

 meters), and Pearcey from 2\ fathoms (4 meters) in Stanley Harbor, 

 Falkland Islands. Whiteaves records it from the Gulf of St. Law- 

 rence. It is known from numerous stations about the British Isles.
