Original Description

The genus Saccammina (Sars) is characterized by a very regular spherical test, built up of large angular sand-grains strongly united by ferruginous cement, which are so arranged as to form a wall-surface well smoothed off externally, whilst its interior is roughened by their angular projections. The cavity is undivided, and is furnished with a single orifice, which is surrounded by a tubular prolongation of the test, giving to the whole the aspect of a globular flask.
