Subovate ; chambers neat and small at first, swollen afterwards ; not so compact 

 as in gibbosa, nor enlarging so rapidly with their growth, and therefore forming a less 

 broadly ti'iangular shell. At p. 169, ' Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.,' ser. 4, vol. viii, 1871, 

 pi. xi, fig. 119, Textilaria tuberosa is referred to as "belonging probably to T. 

 gibbosa." So also T. obtusa, laevigata, and punctulata, d'Orb., are combined with 

 T. gibbosa (ibid., p. 167, pi. xi, figs. 115—117). 



Occurrence. — This species, founded by d'Orbigny on a figure given by Soldani, 

 is not recorded in the ' Challenger ' Report as occurring in the recent condition. 

 Fossil specimens have been recorded from the Pliocene of Tuscany and the Miocene 

 of Sardinia (de Amicis). The Crag specimen figured on PI. V, fig. 17, is in the 

 Searles-Wood Collection, British Museum, and was obtained from Sutton.

^ This species is represented under various appellations in Ehrenberg's ' Mikrogeologie,' 1854, — 

 pi. xxiii, figs. 3 — 6; pi. xxiv, figs. 12 — 14; pi. xxv, ia, figs. 9 — 11; pi. xxv, in c ; pi. xxvii, fig. 6 ; 

 pi. xxviii, figs. 9, 10 ; pi. xxix, fig. 17 ; pi. xxx, fig. 3 a ; pi. xxxi, figs. 12, 13 ; pi. xxxii, ii, figs. 12, 13 ; 

 pi. xxsvii, VI, figs. 6, 7 ; ' Abhandl. Preuss. Akad. Wiss.,' 1856, p. 161, pi. ii, fig. 1. These are 

 referred to in detail in the ' Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.,' ser. 4, vol. ix, 1872, pp. 280, 284, 287, 289, 292, 

 298 ; vol. X, 1872, pp. 185, 188, 193, 197. In vol. ix, at pp. 222, 223, 255, 257, and 264, some miscel- 

 laneous occurrences are also noticed of this little organism, recent and fossil, as figured by Ehrenberg. 

 A full synonymy of this species will be published in the second part of C. D. Sherborn's ' Index of 

 the Genera and Species of Foraminifera,' which the Smithsonian Institution will issue this year.
