figure is from a somewhat ill-grown specimen, with large 

 open aperture.

A delicate moniliform Nodosaria^ with long elliptical di- 

 stinct segments. Our outlines are copied from figures h & k.

" Hob. Eecent in the Adriatic ; fossil near Sienna." (Fossil 

 at Donnini and Cerajolo, Soldani.) 



A straight, few-chambered Nodosarian, having its sm-face 

 studded with acicular exostoses. D'Orbigny subsequently 

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

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

 fore now stands as Nodosaria hisjoida. Of om* 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. XX (figured) has an appearance much 

 like that of the Clavuline forms of Valvidina^ " Glavulina 

 davulus^'' Ann. N. H. ser. 3. vol. v. p. 469. 



5. Nodosaria semistriata, D'Orb. PL IX. fig. 38.

^^ Hah. Fossil near Sienna." (Mediterranean [?], /S'oZc/aw?*.) 



This is but a subvariety of N. radicida^ Linn., its claim to 

 distinction resting upon a number of obscm'e short stride or 

 costae on the upper portion of the chambers. Soldani makes 

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

 and it has probably been adopted by D'Orbigny from its 

 corresponding with specimens which occurred in his own 

 investigations.
