Description .—Test ovoid, tapering to an acute point , sometimes with 

 a distinct apical spine; chambers arranged triserially, but indistinct 

 in front view; surface with a series of raised costae running from the 

 apical end to the last-formed whorl, concealing the sutures; end view 

 showing the sutures; wall punctate, opaque, white; aperture elon- 

 gate, comma-shaped. 



Length 0.3-0.5 mm. 



Distribution. — The only Atlantic record is that given by Brady in 

 the Challenger Report, off Cape de Verde Islands in 1,070 fathoms 

 (1,957 meters). It is also recorded from Challenger station 335, lati- 

 tude 32° 24' vS., longitude 13° 05' W., in 1,450 fathoms (2,652 meters). 

 Other records for this species are all from the Pacific and Indian 

 Oceans. Brady records it southeast of the Cape of Good Hope and 

 off the Ki Islands, Egger from the western coast of Australia, and 

 Chapman from the Arabian Sea, the eastern coast of Australia, and 

 off Funafuti, the latter in 2,298 fathoms (4,203 meters). I have 

 previously recorded it from several Albatross and Nero stations in the 

 North Pacific. Apparently this species does not come into the North 

 Atlantic along the coasts, as it certainly would have been noted either 

 in the European material or on our own eastern coast in the abundant 

 Albatross material.
