10. Nodosaria filiformis, D'Orb. PI. IX. fig. 48. 



"Orthnceratia filiformia aut capillaria ;" Soldani, Testae, vol. ii. p. 35, 

 pi. 10. fig. e. D'Orb. op. cit. p. 25.3. no. 14. 



" Hah. Fossil at Sienna." (Near Sienna, Soldani.) 



The curvature of the axis being recognized as a divisional 

 character, this should be Dentalina Jiliformis. It is a fair 

 representative of the attenuated forms of Dentalina, having 

 very numerous, distinct, elliptical segments. 



11. Nodosaria scalaris, D'Orb. PI. IX. fig. 39. 



" Orthoceratia ;" Soldaui, Testae, vol. i. pt. 2. p. 91, pi. 94. fig. V. D'Orb. 

 op. cit. p. 253. no. 18. 



'' Hab. Recent in the Adriatic." 



This may be fairly placed under N. raphaniis, Linn. The 

 name " .^caJaris " had been previously adopted by Batsch for 

 a somewhat different form. 



12. Nodosaria sulcata, D'Orb. PI. IX. fig. 40. 



" Polymoi-pha rineifonnia ;" Soldani, Testae, vol. i. pt. 2. p. 118, pi. 127. 

 tig. C. D'Orb. op. cit. p. 253. no. 21. 



" Hab. Recent in the Adriatic ; fossil at Leognan, near 

 Bordeaux, and at Castel-Arquato, Italy." (Mediterranean [?], 

 Soldani.) 



This is a short Nodosaria raj^hanus, but with an extraordi- 

 nary lateral chamber, overriding the first two chambers.. 

 How specimens with so odd a malfonnation should have 

 turned up under cii'cumstances so diverse as indicated by the 

 localities quoted by D'Orbigny, Ave cannot explain. It is 

 quite possible that D'Orbigny ignored the malformation, 

 whilst Soldani was led by it to associate his specimen with 

 others that we recognize as Uvigerince. 



13. Nodosaria ra^ta, Lamarck*. PI. IX. fig. 41. 



" Orthoceratia;" Soldani, Testae, vol. i. pt. 2, p. 91, pi. 04. fig. T. D'Orb. 

 op. cit. p. 253. no. 27. 



" Hab. Recent in the Adriatic, near Rimini." (Mciliterra- 

 nean or Acbiaticf, Soldani.) 



This is Nodosaria rajdianisfrion, Linn^, sp. (Ann. N. H. 

 ser. 3. vol. iii. p. 478). D'Orbigny refers to figures in the 



* There is no '^ X. rapa" recorded bv Lamarck (Ann. X. II. ser. 3. 

 vol. V. pp. 287-280) ; but this name occnn-ed to D'OrbiLTuy probably 

 through the intermediation of" the French word " rave," which has refer- 

 ence to both of the latin terms " raphaiiu.^" and '^ rapa." 



t A large group of ditVerent Foraminifera are in this ai^ in other in- 

 stances described as having been obtained from the two seas : and as only 

 one specimen has been selected, it is impossible to localize it exactly.
