 lutions made up of numerous segments; lines of union of the segments 

 more or less indistinct; walls composed of sand, or of sand and sponge 

 spicules mixed, or sometimes almost wholly of broken sponge spicules 

 arranged in an orderly manner parallel to the spiral axis of growth; 

 color brown ; aperture a transverse arched slit at the base of the final 

 segment. Diameter, about 1 mm. {-^^ inch).

HAPLOPHRAGMIUM LATIDORSATUM Bornemann.

A simple planospiral shell of about three convolutions, the segments 

 rapidly increasing in size, the final convolution completely inclosing 

 the others. Contour subglobular, septal lines distinct; aperture a 

 slightly irregular transverse slit at the base of the final segment, with 

 thin, well-formed lips; color grayish-brown. Diameter, about 1.5 mm.
