large and eight small. Rather rare at Palermo. Mr. 

 Millett considers my Delos specimens are closely related 

 to his L. llmbata ('92), p. 523, pi. 11, fig. 15.

I think the three specimens found may be brought 

 under this species. The one figured has an entosolenian 

 tube, but this is absent in the other two. Brady in the 

 Challenger Report states that " this is one of the narrow 

 compressed Nodosarian shells that might with almost 

 equal propriety be placed either with Lingulina or Frondi- 

 cularia, the slightly inflated primordial chamber, and bent 

 earlier segments suggesting somewhat greater affinity to 

 the latter genus." Very rare. 



Frondicularia pygmaea, n. sp. (PI. 1, fig. 27). 



The initial chamber appears to be nearly globular, 

 and the following ones are compressed, narrow and 

 reflexed. The septa are arched, and slightly sunk, and 

 the orifice is simple. A small wing commencing on the 

 last chamber but one, runs on either side of the test, 

 gradually broadening out and terminating as a spine. 

 The initial chamber is likewise armed with a small 

 spine. 



Two specimens were found, and both consist of five 

 chambers. One of the tests had the spines fractured 

 when found, and the other one was broken in like manner 

 during the process of examination. Very rare.
