This cylindrical variety is rounded at the base typically, and 

 in that condition may he regarded as an elongate form of N. rotun- 

 clata. In the Malay Archipelago the examples are invariably 

 acutely pointed at the primordial end, thus indicating an affinity 

 with N laevigata. For the reasons given in treating of N. echinata 

 the two forms are again associated. 



It is very rare in the Malay Archipelago, and occurs only in 

 Area 1.

This, in its more compact form, is nothing more nor less than 

 a typical Glandulina laevigata, having its surface covered with 

 delicate stria3, and has been well represented by d'Orbigny under 

 the name of Glandulina glans. Amongst a multitude of specimens 

 from the Malay Archipelago, passage, forms are to be found in 

 abundance leading gradually and insensibly from this Glanduline 

 to the elongated Nodosarian form, which may be considered to 

 represent Nodosaria radicida with a striated surface.
