Occu.rrence.—Discorblna globidaris has a wide geographical range, having been 

 found in nearly all seas from Davis Strait in the North to Magellan's Strait in 

 the South. It is more common in temperate and subtropical waters; and has 

 not, according to the ' Challenger ' Report, been yet found at depths greater than 

 450 fathoms. 



Fossil specimens have been found in the Eocene, London Clay, and Calcaii'e 

 Grossier, the Miocene of Bavaria, Southern Italy, and Muddy Creek (Victoria), the 

 Pliocene of Italy and St. Erth, and in the Pleistocene of the British Isles, Italy, 

 and elsewhere (Brady). It is not a common fossil in the Coralline Crag. The
