Paleontology, vol. 4, 1907, p. 251, pi. 3, figs. 24-25. 



Test fusiform, pointed at both ends, circular to elliptical in section 

 chambers few, elongate, each some distance from the base; sutures 

 distinct, not depressed; wall smooth; aperture radiate, pointed. 



Length 0.50-0.70 mm.; breadth 0.20-0.35 mm.; thickness 0.20-0.35 

 mm. 



This is an elongate, fusiform Globulina, having the chambers ar- 

 ranged as in Globulina gibba. Globulina similis, described as having 

 seven chambers, may represent the microspheric form of the present 

 species. It has a slightly compressed test and is placed as intermedi- 

 ate between Bornemann's Globulina minima and Roemer's Globulina 

 minuta. The latter two forms may be considered to represent both 

 extremes in the degree of the compression of the test. Among Poly- 

 morphina gracilis Reuss, which name is given to Schlicht's figures, 

 there are some which can be included .in Globulina minuta. They 

 are the figures 5-8 and 27, 28 in Plate 32.
