Frequent, but not very typical, displaying a tendency to run into straight 
lines of chambers. Tn one specimen the broken final chamber shows what 
is apparently a young individual fitting closely into the conformation of the 
chamber. The young specimen consists of four inflated chamberlets arranged 
on a rotaline plan. The surface appears to be pitted, but not perlorate. 
Texture very thin and delicate.

Frequent and very variable. The test, so far as external appearances go, 
starts with a perfectly normal and well-developed individual comparable 
with Miliolina rotunda or M. labiosa, followed hj a straight or curving series 
of irregularly formed chambers terminating in a large, giiping, irregular 
orifice, narrowed down by a variable number of projecting teeth. It appears 
to be nothing more than a strongly-developed Nubecularia bradyi, and is 
certainly much more closely allied to that form than to the milioline series of 
the initial chambers. The more regularly shaped specimens suggest JVeiillina 
coronata (Millett), but are very different from Sidebottom's specimens 
(Manchester Mem. vol. xlix. 1905, No. llj, the types of which are
