S. Nat. Mus., vol. 34, 1908, p. 138. Description.--Test elongate, much compressed, gradually tapering to the rather bluntly-rounded apical end, often somewhat twisted, thickest along the median line, thinning toward the lateral margins, which are slightly rounded; chambers usually about as high as wide, slightly tumid, the sutures very distinct, irregularly curved, limbate, especially along the median portion of the face; wall calcareous, smooth, punctate; aperture elongate-oval, in some specimens somewhat remote from the border and terminal; color white. Length 0.500.75 mm. Distribution.--Brady records the species from the following three stations in the North Pacific, off the Hawaiian Islands, in 40 fathoms, south shore of Japan, 15 fathoms, and in Hongkong Harbor, 7 fathoms. Bagg's specimen is from Albatross station H4694, in 865 fathoms, off the Hawaiian Islands. In the material I have examined the species has been noted from the following stations: Albatross station D4965, in 191 fathoms, off the coast of Japan, and Nero station 1466, in 234 fathoms, near Guam. There is a tendency in adult specimens to assume a uniserial development with a terminal aperture. From the other published records the species seems to be confined to fairly shallow tropical and subtropical waters. BOLIVINA (BIFARINA) PORRECTA H. B. Brady. 78.--BOLIVINA LIMBATA.
