Is often met with in a pygmy form. There is no need to separate those 
forms of this family which have a narrow linear build from those which have a 
more flattened outspread form ; the former were by d’Orbigny distinguished as 
Articuline, the latter as Vertebraline ; the former should have milioline, the 
latter hauverine origin. 
Caribbean Sea. 300 fathoms (Goés).

Articulina Sagra Br., 1884, Chall. Rep., IX. p. 184, Pl. XII. Figs. 22-24. 
Attains somewhat higher development and varies highly in the relation be- 
tween length and breadth. The larval stage is often smooth.

Attains comparatively large dimensions in the Caribbean Sea, where it is a 
very common shallow-water form. Orbiculina is only an evolutionary stage 
between Peneroplis and Orbitolites, and keeps about the same position as T’rilocu- 
lina on one side to Quinqueloculina and on the other side to Biloculina. 
Cariboean Sea. 10-300 fathoms; common.

O. marginalis Br., 1884, Chall. Rep., IX. p. 214, Pl. XV. Figs. 1-5. 
Has about the same range of distribution as the preceding, of which it may 
be considered as a megalaspheric form.
