" Hah. The Adriatic." (Fossil, San Quirico, Soldani.) 



Our outline is copied from fig. G, the other drawing [F) 

 being somewhat doubtful and probably representing a smooth 

 Uvigerina. The specimen represented is a straight Vaginuline 

 Nodosarian, with a wide carina on the inner or concave mar- 

 gin, and a long spine projecting from the apex or the earliest 

 chamber. Such forms may frequently be met with both 

 recent and fossil, but seldom with the mucro inserted abruptly 

 on the square end of the test, as given in the figure.

Noticed in our review of the Models ; see also our Mono- 

 graph of the Crag Foraminifera, and other papers. 



Amongst Soldani's figures above quoted, fig. N represents 

 the true Nodosaria raphanus, and fig. R is N. ohliqua ; but 

 plenty of intermediate grades are known to connect these with 

 the Marginuline individuals.

We are not disposed to regard Soldani's figures, taking 

 them all together, as referable to the Nodosarince at all. They 

 appear to us somewhat unusually rugose examples of the
