" Hah. Fossil near Sienna." (Mediterranean, Soldani.) 



A common recent form, well figured by Professor W. C. 

 Williamson under the name Nodosaria radicula (E,ec. For. 

 Gt. Br. pi. 2. figs. 36-38) ; but, as we have before stated, 

 Batsch's name i\r.sca/ar«5 takes precedence. Soldani also refers 

 to pi. 5. figs. 3, ^1, 2?, C, i), in his ' Appendix,' as being the 

 same (fossil at Coroncina). 



Soldani's figured specimens have from two to five segments, 

 and vary in the relative size, proportional enlargement, and 

 approximation of the segments. Fig. Z, with its eccentric 

 stolon-tube, and its produced and somewhat hooked first 

 chamber, approaches Marginida falx, J. & P., with which also 

 pi. 96. fig. P, and pi. 102. fig. (7, have relationship. See 

 Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xvii. p. 302.

" Hah. Fossil near Sienna." (Mediterranean, Soldani.) 



It is a matter of extreme difficulty to judge between the 

 occasional double-celled specimens of Lagena and the arrested 

 Nodosarice*. The transverse as well as longitudinal markings 

 on Soldani's figure leave us with little doubt that he has met 

 with a double specimen of Lagena melo. The reticulate orna- 

 ment, however, is becoming better known as a Cristellarian 

 (Nodosarine) ornament by the discoveries of our German fellow- 

 workers. The spiral ornamentation of the neck occurs in both 

 Nodosaria and Lagena, though more frequently in the latter.

" Hah. Fossil near Sienna." (Mediterranean or Adriatic, 

 Soldani.) 



A straight Nodosarian, with few, globular, semisulcate or 

 semicostate chambers ; the grooves (or ribs ?) commence at the

 (in Grignon sands especially) .
