 Thesis Univ. Utrecht, p. 81, 1949. 



Type species. — Glandulina discreta Reuss, 1850. Original desig- 

 nation. 



Test free, uniserial and rectilinear throughout, chambers embracing 

 Strongly in the early portion, later chambers inflated, less embracing 

 and separated by constricted sutures ; sutures horizontal ; aperture 

 terminal, radiate. 



PSEUDONODOSARIA LARVA (Carsey) 



Plate I, figures 7- 11 



Nodosaria larva Carsey, Univ. Texas Bull. 2612, p. 31, pi. 2, fig. 2, 1926. 

 Nodosaria radicula (Linne) Plummer (not Nautilus radicula Linne, 1758), 



Univ. Texas Bull. 3101, p. 155, pi. 11, fig. 2 (? fig. i), 1931. 

 Pseudoglandulina nianifesta (Reuss) Cushman (not Glandulina manifesta 



Reuss, 1851), U. S. Geol. Survey Prof. Paper 206, p. 76, pi. 27, figs. 21-26 



(not fig. 20), 1946. 



Test free, elongate, base smooth and rounded, consisting of a recti- 

 linear series of chambers, early ones closely appressed, strongly over- 

 lapping and subcylindrical, later chambers slightly inflated with a 

 lesser amount of overlap and separated by slight constrictions, final 

 chamber turbinate in form, somewhat produced to the aperture ; 

 sutures distinct, straight, horizontal, flush with the surface in the early 

 portion, slightly constricted in the later portion where the chambers 

 are more inflated ; wall calcareous, hyaline, surface smooth ; aperture 

 terminal, radiate. Specimens range from 0.39 to 0.88 mm. in length 

 and 0.18 to 0.26 mm. in width. 



Types and occurrence. — Figured topotypes (U.S.N.M. P202ia-e) 

 and unfigured topotypes (U.S.N.M. P2022) from basal Navarro 

 strata exposed in a steep 80- foot exposure on the right bank of Onion 

 Creek just east of the bridge on the Austin-Bastrop Highway, Travis 

 County, Tex. Collected by A. R. Loeblich, Jr. 



Remarks. — Plummer placed Carsey's species under the synonymy 

 of Nodosaria radicula (Linne) ; Cushman considered it equivalent 

 to Pseudoglandidina manifesta (Reuss). It differs from the former 

 species in having a rounded, rather than an apiculate base, and in 

 having closely appressed early chambers. It is also much smaller than 

 the Recent species. It differs from Reuss's species in having a more 

 rounded base and a much less flaring test and in the later chambers 

 being more separated and sutures more constricted.
