  The 
  species 
  of 
  forainiiiifera 
  described

  figured 
  here 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  

   Textulariidae

  the 
  exception 
  of 
  three 
  species 
  of 
  other 
  arenaceous 
  

   foraminifera 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Astrorhizidse 
  and 
  Lituohdse.

  mcreasing

  Albatross 
  station 
  

   D5512, 
  off 
  northern 
  Mindanao, 
  445 
  fathoms. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  characteristic 
  one, 
  resembling 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  

   vertebrae, 
  the 
  chambers 
  in 
  adult 
  specimens 
  very 
  numerous, 
  as 
  many 
  

   as 
  60 
  havmg 
  been 
  counted 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  specimens. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  one 
  

   of 
  the 
  largest 
  species 
  of 
  the
