This is one of the commonest of the smaller Foraminifera in 
the lagoon. From its low specific gravity and form it seems to 
be carried in large numbers to quite the centre of the lagoon. 
That it does not live there is evident from the fact that the 
specimens from samples taken at considerable distance from the 
lagoon shore are invariably stained of a muddy brown and are 
partially weathered or decomposed.

lagoon.

This species undoubtedly attains to its fullest development in 
the shallow waters of the South Pacific. At Funafuti it is re- 
markably abundant, and the beach-sand of the lagoon is largely 
composed of this species. It is rare, however, in the waters of 
the lagoon, and occurs in three samples only.
