the Nomenclature of the Foraminifera. 173 



The first of them, kk (our fig. 144), is a variety of Pulvinulina 

 rejpanda^ near P. antillarum and P. Karsteni in the morpho- 

 logical series ; the other, fig. // (our fig. 148), is more like a true 

 Rotalia, and, in absence of any very satisfactory data, may be 

 regarded as an accidentally adherent specimen of the typical 

 R. Beccarii.

'■'■Hah. Fossil at Castel-Arquato." (Mediterranean, Soldani.) 

 This is Pidvinulina auricula, F. & M., sp. 



76. Rotalia comiminis, D'Orb. PI. XII. fig. 145. 



"Hammonise subconicee" &c. ; Soldani, Testae, vol. i. pt. 1. p. 56, pi. 38. 

 fig. L. D'Orb. op. cit. p. 273. no. 29. 



" Hah. The Adriatic, near Rimini ; the Mediterranean, near 

 Agde" (Tuscan shore, Soldani) ; "the shores of Africa and 

 Madagascar ; fossil on the shores of the Tau lagoon " (South 

 France). 



This is a Pulvi7iulina, not differing greatly from the P.j>ul- 

 chella of the Models. It is an elongate form, not so sym- 

 metrically or neatly made as the " Model " referred to, so far 

 as one can judge by Soldani's somewhat rude and indefinite 

 figure. 



77. Rotalia {Turhiyiulina) italica, D'Orb. 

 PI. XII. fig. 147. 



"Hammonise conico-tuberculatse ;" Soldani, Testae, vol. i. pt. 1. p. 56, 

 pi. 35 (not 26). fig. R [?]. (Mediterranean, Soldani). 



"Hammonise globoso-rotundatpe ;" Soldani, Testae, vol. ii. App. p. 139, 

 pi. 2. figs. 21, f, F, G. (Higher pits on Mount Volterro, Soldani.) 

 D'Orb. op. cit. p. 275, no. 43. 



" Hah. Living in the Mediterranean at Civita Vecchia ; 

 fossil at Castel-Arquato and at Saucats." 



Very ambiguous, owing to D'Orbigny's careless references. 

 " Plate 26 " is an obvious error ; and if we turn to pi. 35, 

 which tallies with the letterpress reference, we find in fig. P 

 (not R, which is Pulvinulina pulchella) the tuberculate form 

 of R. Beccarii, corresponding to the figs. F,G in the Appendix, 

 from which our outlines are copied. The whole of these 

 figures, however, may be properly placed with the typical 

 Rotalia Beccarii, the tubercles on the under surface probably 

 representing nothing more than a modification of the sutural 

 granulation of this species. Rotalia Beccarii and its relation- 

 ships are treated of in Phil. Trans, vol. civ. pp. 387 &c.
