'•'■Hah. Recent in the Adriatic ; fossil near Sienna." (Fossil 

 at Donnini and Cerajolo, Soldani.) 



A straight, fcAV-chambered Nodosarian, having its surface 

 studded with acicular exostoses. D'Orbigny subsequently 

 (1846, For. Foss. Vicnne, p. 35, pi. 1. figs. 24, 25) changed 

 the trivial name to that originally given by Soldani ; it there- 

 fore now stands as Nodosaria kisjnda. Of our two outlines 

 (fig. 45) the first represents Soldani's " quasi-hispid," the 

 second his " hispid " variety.

We cannot follow D'Orbigny in referring these figures to 

 Nodosaria. They differ one from the other ; both are inde- 

 terminable, although fig. x.v (figured) has an appearance much 

 like that of the Clavuline forms of Valndina, " Clavulina 

 clavultts,''^ Ann. N. II. ser. 3. vol. v. ]). 4G9.

This is but a siibvariety of N. radicu/n, Ijinn., its claim to 

 distinction resting upon a number of obscure short strite or 

 costa3 on the upper ]iortion of the chambers. Soldani make.>< 

 no special mention of the figure in his description of tlio plate; 

 and it has probably boon ado])tod by D'Orbigny from its 

 corre.'sponding with spocimons which occurred in his own 

 invostitriitions.
