8. Cristellaria Galea, F. & M. sp. Page 291, no. 6. An ex- 

 tremely outspread, flat Cristellaria. Ann. N. H. ser. 3. v. p. 115. 



9. Cristellaria (Saraceuaria) Italica, Defrance, sp. Page 293, 

 no. 26. Modeles nos. 19 & 85. This is a trihedral Cristellaria. 

 D'Orbigny regarded Saracenaria as of subgeneric value only.

12. Marginulina Raphanus, Linn. sp. Page 258, no. 1, pi. 10. 

 f. 7, 8. Modele no. 6. This is a variety of Nodosaria Raphanus, 

 Linn, sp., in which the septal aperture is excentric, and the early 

 chambers arranged on a curved instead of a straight line ; the 

 shell, too, is more or less compressed, and the septal floors more 

 or less oblique. In all these points the degrees of modification 

 are gentle and indefinite, insensibly leading Nodosaria into Mar- 

 ginuline, Vaginuline, Planularian, and Cristellarian varieties, — 

 all being members of the generic group [Nodosarina) of which 

 Nodosaria Raphanus is a leading member. Ann. N. H. 1859, iii. 

 p. 477, & 1 863, xii. p. 213. The slightly Marginuliue modification 

 of N. Raphanus, having plain indications of all the chief charac- 

 ters found in the various members of the group, presents the 

 best type of Nodosarina, as it has the rectilinear plan of Nodo- 

 saria combined (in the early chambers) with the curvature of 

 Cristellaria : it has also a tendency to compression, and a variable 

 eccentricity of the stolon-tube, and shows the characteristic 

 costation of the genus. 



13. Nodosaria Bacillum, Defr. Page 254, no. 34. This is 

 N. Raphanistrum, Linn. sp. ; the full development of symmetrical 

 Nodosarian rectilinear growth. Ann. N. H. ser. 3. iii. p. 478. 



14. Nodosaria costata, Montagu, sp. Page 253, no. 23. The 

 same as N. Raphanus : probably from the London Clay. Ann. 

 N. H. ser. 3. iv. p. 345.

 of N. Raphanus. 



Among the abundant and fine Foraminifera found in the sea- 

 sand near Rimini, on the Adriatic, are some Nodosarians allied 

 to the beautiful Vaginulina Legumen, Linn, sp., some smooth,
