Original Description

The Genus Rhabdammina of Prof. Sars is based on a species (the R. abyssorum) first obtained in his Son’s dredgings, of which the test is very regularly triradiate, sometimes quadriradiate, and is composed of sand-grains very regularly arranged, and firmly united by a ferruginous cement. Not only was this type represented by numerous specimens in the “Lightning” dredgings, but another yet more considerable collection was formed of irregularly radiating and branching tubes, which are composed of an admixture of sand-grains and sponge-spicules, united by ferruginous cement. These seem to originate in a “primordial chamber” of the same material, which extends itself into a tube that afterwards branches indefinitely. This type may be designated R. irregularis.
