This is generally a well-grown and handsome species. Our 

 specimens have the sutural limbation often seen in this type of 

 shell, and by which character it closely approaches the form pre- 

 viously mentioned ; without a longer series of specimens, however, 

 it would be difficult to point out the relationship of the two forms. 

 The specimens found by Dr. Egger in the Cretaceous of the 

 Bavarian Alps differ somewhat from the usual form in having a 

 convex back ; the sutures also are plain. Vaginulina leguvicn is 

 known from various horizons in the Lias, from the Neocomian of 

 Surrey, England, and the Cretaceous of New Jersey. It is also a 

 well-disti*ibuted shell in the various foraminiferous strata of Tertiary 

 age. 



Not uncommon in the East Pondoland series.

The group of VaginuUnce characterised by a thin compressed test, 

 subtriangular in outline, with few oblique chambers, and having a 

 conspicuous oi-nament of curved longitudinal striations, is typically 

 represented by the present species. V. intumescens was originally 

 described by Eeuss from the Neocomian Beds of Germany. Closely 

 related forms also occur in the Lias, and have been figured from 

 time to time by Terquem and others ; the Liassic species, however, 

 generally possess a larger number of chambers, which are also pro- 

 portionately shorter and narrower. Very rare in the present series.
