FORAMINTFERA. 235 



Lag-ena elcockiana, MILLET (3). 



Only one specimen found in a deposit from the Gulf of Manaar. This is a new 

 record for Indian seas. Previous occurrence in the Malay Archipelago (3), 



Nodosaria obliqua (LiNN.). 



This species occurs sparingly at Stat. LVIIL, but is more frequent at Stat. LVL, 

 both in the Gulf of Manaar. Recorded previously from Indian seas (2). 



Nodosaria cylindracea, n. sp. Plate, fig. 8. 



The test of this species is elongate, and cylindrical, 0'85 millim. in length, and 

 terminates in a rounded apex. Chambers, about nine in number, arranged in a 

 straight line, and separated by unconstricted sutures, which have the appearance of a 

 series of depressions. Surface with fine longitudinal ribs, about eighteen in number, 

 and marked with minute striae between them. Aperture, a round opening with a 

 slight lip in the centre of the last segment. 



It is possible that this is a new species of the genus Sagrina, in which the early 

 spiral arrangement has been lost, but no trace of this is seen in the specimen. 



Of very rare occurrence in the Gulf of Manaar.

This form occurs somewhat frequently in the Gulf of Manaar. Recorded previously 

 for Indian seas (2).

 recorded from Indian seas (2).
