 Nodosaria farcimen, Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept., p. 498, pi. Ixii, figs. 17, 18. 



Two capital examples, similar to the " Challenger " form, fig. 18 ; 

 also a fragment, consisting of five chambers, which more nearly 

 resembles Soldani's figure. 



Nodosaria (D) communis d'Orbigny. 



Nodosaria (D) communis d'Orbigny, 1826, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. vii, p. 254, 



No. 35. 

 N. communis Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept., p. 504, pi. Ixii, figs. 19-22. 



The best examples are very near to those figured in the Chall. 

 Eept., although one or two have a tendency towards N. roemeri. 

 There are also several slender tests which may be brought under 

 this heading. 



Nodosaria (D) pauperata d'Orbigny. (PL IV, fig. 7.) 



Dentalifia pauperata d'Orbigny, 1846, For. Foss. Vien, p. 46, pi. i, figs. 57, 



58. 

 N. pauperata Brady, 1884, Chall. Eept., p. 500, woodcuts, fig. 14, a, b, c. 



Good examples occur. Several have a tendency towards 

 N. roemeri in the later chambers. One large test (fig. 7) has the 

 initial chamber inflated and the shell slightly compressed for a 

 short distance. I have a similar specimen from the " Challenger " 

 Station No. 3.

A long example and two shorter ones. They tend towards 

 N. eonsohrina, var. emaciata Eeuss. The sutures are horizontal.
