differs in having the sutures sunk, and the central depression 

 referred to above. Howchin remarks that his form " somewhat 

 resembles F. complanata Defrance," and states' in what way it 

 differs. Mine, I think, is more nearly related to F. spathulata 

 Brady. 



A solitary example. 



Frondicularia nitida Terquem, var. (PL IV, fig. 18.)

This little specimen (PI. IV, fig. 18), is nearer to Millett's example 

 than to the original. It differs chiefly from Millett's in having the 

 final chamber neither so large nor so much pointed. Another 

 example is not quite so regular in outline, and a third is doubtful.

There are six tests on the slide, and I have chosen the largest 

 one for illustration. The mouth is fractured, but it has evidently 

 been circular. There are five costse on either edge of the test. The 

 remaining five specimens vary in size and in minor details. One 

 is in the microspheric condition. I find that the curving of the 

 sutures is best seen when the light falls directly down the test. 



Messrs. Heron-Allen and Earland, in the above reference, state 

 fully their reasons for placing this varying form under the name 

 F. tenera Bornemann. I have a similar test from the " Challenger " 

 St. 185, and also from Cebu, Philippine Islands, 120 fms.
