Tho first of theiiij kk four fi^. 144), is a variety ot" Putcimilina 

 repaniliij near I*, antil/arum and I*. Karsteni in the morpho- 

 logical series ; the other, fig. // (our fig. 148), is more like a true 

 liotiiliu, and, in absence of any very satisfactory data, may Lc 

 regarded as an accidentally adherent s})CcinK'n of tiic typical 

 R. Beccarii.

 France). 



This is a Pulvinulina, not differing greatly from the P. pul~ 

 chella of the Models. It is an elongate form, not so sym- 

 metrically or neatly made as the " Model " referred to, so far 

 as one can judge by Soldani's someAvhat rude and indefinite 



figure.

" Hab. Living in the Mediten-anean at Civita Vecchia ;

Very ambiguous, owing to D'Orbigny's careless references. 

 "Plate 26" is an obvious error; and if we turn to pi. 35, 

 which tallies with the letterpress reference, we find in fig. P 

 (not R, which is Pulvinulina pidchella) the tuberculate form 

 of R. Beccarii, corresponding to the figs. F, G in the Appendix, 

 from which om* outlines are copied. The whole of these 

 figures, however, may be properly placed with the typical 

 Rotalia Beccarii, the tubercles on the under surface probably 

 representing nothing more than a modification of the sutural 

 granulation of this species. Rotalia Beccarii and its relation- 

 ships are treated of in Phil. Trans, vol. civ. pp. 387 &c.
