Williamson, in his ' Recent Foraminifera of Great Britain,' having 

 regard to the resemblance in contour of the tests, associates L. lineata 

 with L. globosa ; Brady, in his ' Challenger ' Report on the Forami- 

 nifera, attaching greater importance to surface ornamentation, places 

 it with L. striata. There are advantages and disadvantages connected 

 with each method, but on the whole the Lagense seem to fall into 

 more natural groups when arranged in accordance with the general 

 shape of the test, than when the character of the surface is taken as 

 the basis of classification. 



There are usually assigned to L. globosa two distinct forms ; in one 

 of these the test is thin and inflated, inclined to be opaque, and 

 possessing a well developed internal tube. In the other the test is 

 very thick and transparent, the shape pyriform, and the aperture 

 surrounded with radiating striae. Amongst these latter are doubtless
