SPIROLOCULINA PLANULATA. 103 



examples, though subject to modification and interchange. Thus : — 1. Those that 

 have the surfaces of the chambers flat (planulate). 2. The surfaces of the chambers 

 sloping down towards the centre of the shell (excavate). 3. The outer margin or 

 periphery channelled, being bordered by two limbate edges (canaliculate). 4. The 

 chambers bordered by raised lines or ridges (limbate). 5. Chambers convex on 

 surface (rotundate). 6 & 7. Other forms, not here dealt with, either (6) have the 

 surfaces of their chambers raised and ridged (angulate) ; or (7) have them sunken 

 and concave (hollow-chambered).
