GOES: FORAMINIFERA, 59 
This form is by no means common in the tropical seas, and specimens of 
strong growth are seldom met with. It is often of pygmy size, 0.50-1.50 mm. 
Caribbean Sea. 196-463 fathoms.

There is not the slightest ground for assigning this form to a separate 
genus, as d’Orbigny has done, for it is very closely allied to V. laevigata. 
It varies from broad and short form to more elongate and slender ; usually 
it is more or less compressed, but often nearly cylindric; sometimes the 
segments are much inflated. 
Pacific. 1132 fathoms,

Of this two closely allied forms are met with in the Caribbean Sea; the one 
resembles perfectly the type, only being perhaps more cylindric in the cireum- 
ference, the other is often somewhat compressed and may be referred to the 
variety striato-costata of Reuss; the former is represented in my paper on 
Ret. Rhizop. of Caribbean Sea, Sv. Vet. Akad. Hdl., XIX. 4, Pl. IT. Fig. 32; 
the latter, Fig. 33, andin Arct. & Scand. Foramf., Sv. Vet. Ak. Hdl., XXV. 9, 
Pl. XII. Fig. 665. 
Both forms in Caribbean Sea. 45-300 fathoms; scarce.

The typical apiculate Glandulina levigata is the prevalent form of this group 
in moderate depths of tropic seas, where it attains a high development. 
Pacific. 770-1132 fathoms; large. 
Caribbean Sea. 382-789 fathoms.
