 the increase in diameter from the initial end rather uniform, sides in 

 adult portion nearly parallel; chambers inflated, w^ider than high, in- 

 creasing somewhat in height toward the apertural end rather uniformly; 

 sutures distinct, depressed, usually about at right angles to the long axis 

 of the test ; wall rather coarsely arenaceous, but smoothly finished ; aper- 

 ture an elongate slit in a definite re-entrant at the base of the inner 

 margin of the last chamber, with a slight upper lip. Length, 0.80-1.00

 Pliocene of Italy. It has been noted at the following Hancock Expedi-

 in the Hancock Collections.
