FOKAMINIFERA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 205 



species described by Neugeboren from the Miocene of Transylvania. 

 His wording is interesting: 



Under the name Dentalina submnalicalata, Neugeboren has figured two slender, 

 curved, Nodosaria shells, which are characterized by their numerous segments, straight 

 sutures, and a peculiar surface-ornament consisting of short, broken, longitudinal 

 striae. The specimen represented in PI. LXIV, figs. 23, 24 [Challenijer Report], 

 exhibits the same kind of external marking; and as the test is manifestly abnormal 

 in point of form, it may be treated pro\'i3ionally, in the absence of other indications 

 of its affinity, as an aberrant modification of the species referred to. 



With the single specimen at his disposal little else could be done 

 by Brady, and certainly from a single specimen it might appear, as 

 he says, that "the test is manifestly abnormal in point of form." 

 However, I have had a considerable number of specimens from the 

 above localities and the form is more than usually constant. The 

 figure given by Brady is so well drawn that it might represent one of 

 the specimens I have had. His specimen, however, did not have its 

 aperture in complete preservation, as have a portion of those which I 

 have been fortunate enough to obtain. 



This is certainly a rather unique species in many ways, and is 

 apparentl}^ rather widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, 

 although it is a delicate one and easily broken.

Description. — Test nodose, composed of few chambers, usually not 

 more than five, two or three closely set, later ones remote, inflated, 

 sutures even in the early chambers much depressed, wall ornamented 

 by longitudinal costae, few and large, usually limited to the middle
