GOES: FORAMINIFERA. 63 
The form designed by Soldani as Orthoceras monile has globular segments, 
but in other respects it differs nothing from pyrula D'OrB., which is provided 
with ovoid or pyriform segments. The form of Soldani seems to be seldom met 
with in recent condition, Soldani’s name should take precedence of Nod, pyrula

Paeifie. 885-1201 fathoms ; not common.

N. hispida D'ORB,，1846，Bass, tert. Vienne, p. 35, Pl. I. Figs. 24, 25, 
N. hispida Br., 1884, Chall. Rep., IX. p. 507, Pl. LXIII. Figs. 12-16. 
Closely allied to N. monile, and differs from that only in having its 
globular segments beset with pseudopodial spines or tubes, and the two 
or three earliest segments usually without necks. 
Caribbean Sea. 196-387 fathoms; not common.

N. obliqua and its quasi variety vertebralis Barson come to high development 
in these seas, particularly in the Caribbean Sea. 
I retain Linné's name for this form, as most authors have done, although 
it originally was probably intended for an obliquely lineated or costate form by 
Batsch designated by the name Naut. obliquatus. 
Pacific, 885-1132 fathoms. 
Caribbean Sea. 68-1181 fathoms. 
ALLIED Form: 一 
N. raphanistrum var. obsoleta Goiis. Plate VI. Fig. 3. 
This can scarcely be considered as anything else than a highly developed 
form of the preceding. It may be put in question if this giant form may 
not be identical with the tertiarian V. raphanistrum Lin., from which it 
differs only in having the ribs or lineation not so strongly marked, some- 
times nearly obsolete even on earlier segments. 
From Nod, bacillum Derr., Atlas Conch., Pl. XIII. Fig. 4, it also differs 
in this respect only.
