margin. Surface of test covered with minute tubercles which 
under a low power resemble perforations. Length ,4 inch 
(52 mm.). 
The fragmentary specimens recorded and figured by H. B. 
Brady * are tuberculate similarly to the above species, but differ 
considerably in the shape of the chambers and in showing a strong 
partitional septum on the surface between each segment. 
Found in sand from the beach, Avalau Id. (South Id.), Funafuti.

Prneropiis (MoNALYSIDIUM) PoLITA, sp. nov. (PI. 1. fig. 5.) 
Test imperfect but probably similar in general outline to the 
foregoing species, with the exception that the segments, espe- 
cially of the last part of the series, are more irregular in form. 
The rectilinear portion of the shell (the only part discovered at 
present) consists of six segments, subcylindrical and irregular ; 
shell-surface highly polished, with vertical rows of minute 
puncta on each segment, and we Aperture with an everted 
margin. Length of portion found +. inch (714 mm.).

Nothing has been done towards extending the somewhat limited 
range of distribution for this species since Brady described “ this 
singular little organism from the South Pacific.” The original 
localities were the Admiralty Islands, where it was found on 
calcareous plants and fragments of shells at 16-35 fathoms; and

bestowed on a genus of the Pelyzoa. See Hall’s Nat. Hist. N. York, 1852,
