Test stout, compact in early portion, later portion attenuated ; cham- 

 bers few, comparatively large, inflated; sutures indistinct, depressed, not 

 curved ; wall thickly covered with rather coarse spines, generally without 

 any trace of alignment, an initial spine sometimes present; aperture at 

 the end of a prominent neck, surrounded by a slight lip. 



Length up to 0.85 mm; diameter 0.25-0.42 mm. 



This species was described from the Pliocene of Kar Nicobar and is 

 also known from other localities in the Indo-Pacific, fossil and Recent, 

 and from the Pliocene of California and the Miocene of Bufif Bay, 

 Jamaica. This species was recorded at stations: 513, 1105, 1122, 1150. 

 Specimens from the last station are larger than those from the first three. 



Distribution. — ^These station records place this species off Catalina 

 Island, off Seal Beach, California, in 47 to 225 fms, and off the coast of 

 Colombia in 47 fms.

Very rare, usually single, specimens from a few stations may be re- 

 ferred with some question to this variety which is distinguished from 

 the typical form by its smaller size and slender form, and the elongate 

 apertural neck. The present specimens, however, have more inflated and 

 globose chambers and the neck is not as long as in the types. Also, the 

 hispid wall shows an alignment, occasionally developing into faint longi- 

 tudinal costae at the initial end. 



The specimens are from the following stations: 82, 629, 637, 655, 

 664, 1182, 1184, 1218, 1229, 1243, 2164. The known distribution of 

 this variety is Recent of the Tropical Pacific and Miocene of Jamaica. 



Distribution. — These stations include records off Catalina, San Clem- 

 en te, and Cedros Islands in 46 to 228 fms, and from the harbors of 

 Singapore, of Kobe, Japan, and Colombo Bay in 7 to 90 fms.
