The semilunar form of the last-formed chambers, the backward 

 direction of the outer portions of the chambers and their prolon- 

 gations serve to distinguish the 

 species.

This is one of the largest species of Textu- 

 laria I have met with, and seems to differ from 

 the other described species in form and size, and in the form of 

 its apertural end. Some of the specimens had 40 or more 

 chambers.
