Test in the earliest stages composed of 4 or 5 chambers in a whorl, 

 rapidly reducing to 3, in the adult usually with a short, biserial stage 

 followed by a few uniserial chambers, often only 1-3; chambers distinct, 

 inflated ; sutures distinct, depressed ; wall very coarsely arenaceous, with 

 large, angular fragments, but rather smoothly finished; aperture in the 

 adult large, rounded. 



Length up to 1.50 mm; diameter 0.50-0.60 mm. 



The types of this species are from 185 fms. off San Pedro, Cali- 

 fornia. The species is widely distributed in our material. The megalo- 

 spheric form quickly attains the uniserial stage and shows but a few 

 triserial chambers in the earlier stages after the initial whorl of four 

 or five. In the microspheric form the triserial stage is held much longer 

 and some of our specimens are not yet uniserial and might be mistaken 

 for Eggerella scabra (Williamson) if it were not for the large series 

 available. The species occurs in our material from the following sta- 

 tions: 82, 80, 57, 25, 215, 217, 509, 2069, 69, 56, 67, 299, 241, 552, 

 2000, 1042, 1035, 2070, 242, 251, 227, 2016, 2008, 2009, 2014. 



Some of the specimens as shown in our plate 10, fig. 5, are much 

 smoother with a larger amount of cement and a deep reddish-brown 

 color. These resemble G. rotundata (Cushman) in some respects but 

 have the typical aperture of G. flintii and probably represent different 

 bottom conditions. There seem to be intermediate stages between the 

 coarsely arenaceous specimens and those with the smoother wall. 



Distribution. — From the locality of the holotype, off San Pedro, 

 California, in 185 fms., the range is now extended to Farallone Islands, 

 San Francisco, northward in 38 fms. and southward to Callao, Peru, 

 in 210 fms. 



Goesella parva Cushman and McCulloch, new species 

 Plate 10, Figs. 13, 14 

 Test minute, the whole elongate and cylindrical or elongate fusi- 

 form, the triserial stage continued often for nearly one third or one 

 half the length; chambers fairly distinct, somewhat overlapping, in- 

 creasing in height toward the apertural end, the last-formed chamber 

 in the adult somewhat pyriform with a rapid reduction in diameter
