NO. 1 CUSHMAN, MCCULLOCH : ARENACEOUS FORAMINIFERA 53 



Our figured specimens show a peculiar species made up of broken 

 sponge spicules and arranged in sections, the lines of growth appearing 

 almost as sutures but not showing any sign of division in the interior. 

 Lacroix has described a species from the Mediterranean which is so 

 similar in its characters that it seems, in spite of the long distance be- 

 tween the localities, that the two may be identical. Our specimens 

 occurred at stations 414, 415, and 417. 



Distribution. — Galapagos Islands, several stations near Duncan Is- 

 land, in 55 to 68 fms.
