N hispida in its typical form may be regarded as a variety of 

 N. pyrula with its surface beset with spines. There is great diver- 

 sity in the form as well as in the disposition of the chambers ; 

 usually these are connected by a long stoloniferous tube, but fre- 

 quently this is wanting, and the test, composed of sessile chambers, 

 differs only from N radicida or N. scalaris in having the surface 

 hispid. Sometimes both forms appear in one test, the later 

 chambers only having the stoloniferous tubes. 



It is found at several Stations in both Areas, but is by no 

 means common, and the examples are small.
