Recent Foraminifera off the East Coast of Austmlia. 19 



A single specimen is comparatively short and broad. The third 

 variety is very stoutly built and very rough ; the sutures not 

 Apparent. 



Textularia agglutinans d'Orbigny.

Two occur. 



Textularia sagittula Defrance. 



Textularia sagittula Defrance, 1824, Diet. Soi. Nat., vol. xxxii, p. 117, 



Atlas Conch., pi. xiii, fig. 5. 

 T. sagittula Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept.. p. 361, pi. xlii, figs. 17, 18. 



Two fairly good examples occur. Besides these, there are 

 several large specimens, thin and rounded at the commencement, 

 but soon thickening and broadening out until they become very 

 stout, with rather square edges. The largest finishes with several 

 very large chambers of equal width. The tests are very coarsely 

 built and are probably spiroplectine in the arrangement of the 

 initial chambers. These forms combine features that are character- 

 istic of 2\ sagittula Defrance, T. gramen d'Orbigny, and T. can- 

 deiana d'Orbigny. 



Textularia ahhreviata d'Orbigny. 



Textularia ahhreviata d'Orbigny, 1846, Foram. Foss. Vien., p. 249, pi. xv, 



figs. 7-12. 

 T. ahhreviata Fornasini, 1887, Boll. Soc. geol. Ital., vol. vi, p. 399, pi. xi, 



figs. 1-3. 

 T. ahhreviata Brady, Parker and Jones, 1888, Trans. Zool. Soc, vol. xii, 



pt. vii, p. 219, pi. xlii, figs. 4, 5. 



Three examples, one of which has limbate sutures, and appears, 

 although better developed, to be similar to Fornasini's T. abbreviata, 

 Boll. Soc. geol. Ital., vol. vi, 1887, p. 399, pi. xi, fig. 1. 



Textularia concava (Karrer). 



Plecanium concavum Karrer, 1868, Sitzungsb. d. k. Wiss. Wien, vol. Iviii, 



p. 129, pi. i, fig. 3. 

 Textularia concava Brady, 1884, Chall. Kept., p. 360, pi. xlii, figs. 13, 14; 



and pi. xliii, fig. 11. 



Two examples occur, interesting inasmuch as they are typical 

 in having the lateral face slightly concave and the peripheral 

 margin square, while the orifice is quite upright. The specimens 

 differ slightly in form. The one figured is the smaller of the two.
