Description. "Test smooth and glistening, arcuate, very 

 elongate, tapering sharply to a point toward the proximal end; 

 chambers spherical, numerous, fifteen to twenty, more constricted 

 and globose toward the ultimate chamber, which is prolonged 

 somewhat in its upper portion and carries the round mammillate 

 aperture ; septa transverse, definitely depressed at the anterior end. 



"Length, over 10 mm. in long specimens; breadth of largest 

 chamber, i mm." (Bagg.) 



Remarks. "This is one of the largest of all our nodosarian 

 types. It resembles the specimens of Nodosaria obliqua, but is 

 easily distinguished from the latter by its smooth surface. The 

 proximal end of the shell sometimes shows very faint striae as 

 indications of ribs, but these are never prominent, and are visible 

 only under the microscope. " ( B agg 1 . ) 



Formation and locality. Navesink marl, Freehold (Bagg) ; 

 Vincentown limesand, Vincentown (Bagg). 



Geographic distribution. New Jersey.
