A single specimen referable to this species occurred at U.S.G.S. 

 5850, in Pleistocene marly material from near Mount Hope, one- 

 fourth mile from present sea beach and about 6 to 8 feet above high 

 tide. 



This is a common species in shallow water of recent oceans.

Four specimens were collected in the Culebra formation at U.S.G.S. 

 No. 6025, foraminiferal marl about 200 yards south of southern end 

 of switch at Bohio Ridge Station, relocated line, Panama Railroad. 



Two of the four specimens had the neck somewhat elongated, the 

 others were more nearly normal in this respect. The specimens were
