Candeina nitida D' 



Tab. VI, figg. 187189. 



This distinguished form was considered by D'ORBIGNY as being in near affinity to 

 Globigerina merely on account of its globular chambers. The same relationship is also 

 attributed to it by Mr- BRADY (Notes on retic. Rhizop. Challeng. exped.; Quart. Journ. 

 rnicrosc. Sc. 75, p. 292). Professors PARKER and JONES again place it in the closest 

 relation to the threeserial Textulariac. The poration, which is extremely fine and ex- 

 actly resembles that of the vitreous Textularia triquetra, as well as its plan of growth 

 would seem to afford some support to this latter suggestion. 



It is very scarce in the chalk-ooze, always of a pigmy size. According to BRADY 

 its habits seem to be pelagic.

Splueroidina bulloides D'ORB. 



Tab. VI, figg. 190193. 



Our form differs sometimes from the typical one in having its aperture more 

 regular and symmetrically placed in the midst of the septal suture of the last cham- 

 ber. The apertural tongue is not seldom wanting and the mouth becomes of the 

 same shape as in Globigerina. The poration is just as fine and delicate as in Candeina. 



It occurs not frequently in the chalk-ooze, and is of small size.
