10 Stations. 



This form of T. agghttincms, marked by excessive and rapid increase in the inflation 

 of the chambers, culminating in a final pair which are semi-globular, is generally 

 distributed among the dredgings, but is never very abundant. Excellent specimens 

 were obtained at Stns. 1, 3, 9, and 12, particularly fine and frequent at the latter. The 

 texture of the shell is almost uniformly coarse, but finely agglutinate, somewhat between 

 the structure of the typical T. agglutinans (of Kerimba) and T. gramen.

Generally distributed, but never so abundant as the typical T. agglutinans. The 

 best specimens were at Stns. 3, 9, and 12, particularly fine at Stn. 3. At Stn. 9 the 

 individuals were remarkable, as the first half of the test was very roughly constructed, 

 the latter portion being smooth and matt. At the other Stns. the form is usually of a 

 roughly agglutinate type throughout. At Stn. 9 it is possible that some of the specimens 

 had spiroplectine initial chambers, but, owing to the texture and opacity of the shell, 

 this feature is extremely diflScult to diagnose with certainty.

One characteristic specimen at Stn. 3. All the localities given by Brady for this 

 species are in the Atlantic Ocean at depths ranging from 350 to 675 fms.
