region and soutli of Cornwall (Heron-AUcu and Earland). Other 

 recent records are Raine Island, Torres Strait (Brady), Malay Archi- 

 pelago (Millett), Funafuti (Chapnian), and the eastern coast of Aus- 

 tralia (Sidebottom) . It is to be suspected that there are two species 

 involved here on account of what is known of other species having 

 this very widely separated distribution. It evidently does not occur 

 in the western Atlantic.

Description. — Test elongate, ovate, fusiform, the initial end more 

 pointed than the apertural end; chambers oblique, forming two or 

 three irregularly spiral coils, inflated, increasing in size as added; 

 sutures distinct, somewhat depressed; wall usually translucent, 

 smooth, finely punctate; aperture a long, narrow, slightly curved 

 slit at the edge of the ventral face of the chamber, often in a depressed 

 umbilical area. 



Length 0.4-0.6 mm. 



Distribution. — Brady described this species from seven Challenger 

 stations in the Atlantic well scattered over the area, and mentions
