 (Wright). 



Nodosaria raphanistrum, Linne, sp., has been sometimes admitted to 

 the list of British recent species on the evidence of one of the figures in Prof. 

 Williamson's work (Pl.ii. tig. 44). The drawing in question is from a broken 

 specimen, and is associated by the author with two others, which are now 

 regarded as representing Nodosaria ohliqua and N. raphanus respec- 

 tively. The habitat is not given, and it appears even possible that the 

 specimen, like some other Nodosarinae on the same plate, may be a 

 derived fossil. Whilst there is this uncertainty it is evident that 

 N raphanistrum is better omitted from our list. 



Nodosaria ohliqua, Linne, sp. 



Nautilus ohliquus, Linne, 1767, Syst. Nat., 12th ed., p. 1163, 281;- 



1788, Ibid., 13th (Gmelm's) ed., p. 3372, No. 14.

 Widely distributed, but the number of specimens generally small.
