256 Dr. R. L. Sherlock — Foraviinifera of Speeton Clay. 



Lagena apieulata, var. danfordi, var. nov. (PL XVIII, Fig. 8.) 



Test elongated, pointed at both ends, slightly oviform in cross- 

 section. The narrower side is straight, the wider curving towards 

 it at the ends. The base tapers rapidly to a point, the oral end is 

 bluntly pointed. Length about '475 mm. ('018 in.), greatest 

 diameter -095 mm. ("0037 in.). It resembles most nearly the figure 

 of L. apieulata in Burrows, Sherborn, & Bailey's paper on the 

 Red Chalk (pi. ix, fig. 6), but the three specimens found all agree 

 in having both ends of the test in the same straight edge. The 

 variety has been named after Mr. C. G. Danford, to whom, as already 

 mentioned, I am indebted for the specimens of Speeton Clay which 

 I have examined. 



Sorizon. — Found in Upper Cj. Three specimens. 



Lagena Icevis (Montagu). (PL XVIII, Fig. 14.) 



Vermiculum IcBve, Montagu, 1803 : Test. Brit., p. 524. 



Lagena Icevis, Brady, 1884 : Chall. Eep., vol. ix, p. 455, pi. Ivi, figs. 7-14, 30. 

 L. lavis. Burrows, Sherborn, & Bailey, 1890: Journ. Roy. Micr. See, p. 555, 

 pi. ix, fig. 3. 



Remarks. — This is probably the commonest and most widely 

 distributed of the Lagence, and has been recorded from the Woolhope 

 Beds. At present it occurs at all depths down to at least 2,435 

 fathoms (Chall. Hep.). 



Horizon. — Found in B base c. Several specimens. 



Sub-family ITODOSARIIN^. 



NoDOSAEiA, Lamarck. 



Sub-genera Glanduhna and Dentalina, d'Orbigny. 



Nodomria {G.) laevigata, var. strolilus, Reuss. (PI. XVIII, Fig. 11.) 



Glandulina lavigata, var. strobilus, Eeuss, 1870 : Sitzungsb. d. k. Ak. Wiss. 

 Wien, vol. Ixii, p. 477 ; Schlicht, Foram. Pietzpuhl, 1870, pi. vi, figs. 15, 16. 



Remarks. — The forms of Nodosaria are very variable, and the 

 specimen found does not differ much from N.mutabilis, lleuss, figured 

 in his paper on the Foi'aminifera of the Hils (pi. v, figs. 9-11). It is 

 noteworthy that the earlier sutures are oblique, a condition regarded 

 by Reuss as of generic importance when he founded the genus 

 Psecadium (Sitzungsb. d. k. Ak. Wiss. Wien, vol. xliv, p. 368, 1861). 

 The variety has been recorded from the Tertiary Septaria-clay of 

 Pietzpuhl. 



Horizon. — One specimen only from C^q- 



Nodosaria hispidn, d'Orbigny. (PL XVIII, Fig. 18.) 



Nodosaria hispida, d'Orbigny, 1846 : For. Foss. Vien., p. 35, pi. i, figs. 24, 25. 

 N. conspureata, Reuss, 1863 : Sitzungsb. d. k. Ak. Wiss. Wien, vol. xlviii, 



p. 43, pi. ii, figs. 10-14. 

 N. hispida, Brady, 1884: Chall. Rep., vol. ix, p. 507, pi. Ixiii, figs. 12-16. 



Remarks. — The species is known from the Middle and Upper Lias 

 of the West of England (Brady, Walford), the Chalk of Ireland
