T. gramen (d'Orb.), Balkwill and Wright ('85), p. 332, 

 pi. 13, figs. 13, 14. 



T. gramen (d'Orb.), Egger ('93), p. 272, pi. 6, figs. 

 24-26. 



The examples found are broader in proportion to 

 their height than the one figured by d'Orbigny, and the 

 chambers are narrower. Rare. 



"Textularia rhomboidalis, Millett. (PI. 2, fig. 2). 



Textularia rhomboidalis, Millett ('99), p. 559, pi. 7, 

 fig. 4. 



In the above reference, Mr. Millett's description runs 

 as follows, " Test cuneiform, quadrilateral ; the peripheral 

 oblique to the lateral faces, making the transverse 

 section of the test rhomboidal ; sides slightly concave, 

 margins rounded and lobulate, sutures curved and deeply 

 excavated. Aperture an arched slit. Shell-substance 

 hyaline and coarsely perforate. Length, 0*34 mm." It 

 will be noticed that my figures of this species differ con- 

 siderably from those by Mr. Millett, who informs me that 

 his drawings were made from a particularly fine specimen, 

 and that mine agree with the bulk of the Malay forms. 

 Frequent. 



There is a weak form of the above species present in 

 considerable numbers *(P1. 2, fig. 3) which, on the one 

 hand, appears to run into T. rhomboidalis, Millett, and on 

 the other to broaden and flatten out towards Bolivina 

 difformis, Williamson, sp., (B. pygmcea, Williamson), Brady 

 ('84), p 421, pi. 53, figs. 5-6). 



This variety seems also related to the British form of 

 B.plicata, d'Orbigny, which, by the way, does not agree 

 with d'Orbigny's figure. Very frequent.
