Tests small, with very neatly finished walls, generally of a warm brown colour, 

 and consisting of a moderately fine mosaic of sand grains. 



A very widely distributed species, which has already occurred, amongst other places, 

 round New Zealand and the sub- Antarctic islands, as well as at Kerguelen and Heard 

 Islands. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 3, 121 fathoms, very common, some specimens excessively 

 minute ; No. 4, 153 fathoms, very common ; No. 5, 171 fathoms, frequent ; No. 7, 

 225 fathoms, very rare ; No. 13, 462 fathoms, rare ; No. 14, 472 fathoms, very rare.

This cosmopolitan species is, generally speaking, a deep-water form ; but towards 

 the polar regions affects more moderate depths. A sample of a dredging from the 

 cold-water area of the Faroe Channel, sent me by my friend Mr. A. Earland, consists 

 largely of the tests of the above species. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 9, 360 fathoms, frequent ; No. 12, 460 fathoms, very rar '. 

 No. 14, 472 fathoms, very rare.

The Challenger localities show this form to be widely distributed, although it is not 

 a common species, ranging over the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean beds from north to 

 south, the most southerly point being on the west coast of Patagonia at 400 fathoms. 

 Dr. Flint records it also from the west coast of Cuba. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 13, 462 fathoms.

 occurred in the South Pacific, in the North Pacific, and in the West Indies. 



Occurrence. — Sample No. 5, 171 fathoms.
