Ehrenberg. (For notices of various forms figured by 

 Ekrenberg, that probably come under Textilaria 

 sagittula, d'Orb., see the 'Annals and Mag. Nat. 

 Hist.,' ser. 4, vol. x, 1872, pp. 284,286,287, 288,290, 

 and 456.) 



General Characters. — Shell free, regular, and equilateral ; conical, pyramidal, 

 pyriform, cuneiform, or oblong. Segments numerous, arranged in two alternate 

 parallel series. Septal orifice at the centre of the umbilical margin of the segment 

 close to its line of contact with the preceding and opposite segment. 



1 The name Textilaria, used by Ehrenberg, 1839, is here adopted in accordance with the recom- 

 mendation in the ' Eules for Zoological Nomenclature (No. 14), Brit. Assoc.,' that Latin orthography 

 should be adhered to. From Mr. C. D. Sherbom's printed and manuscript bibliographies of 

 Foraminifera we are able to state that more than twenty-five authors have adopted Textilaria, 

 and upwards of eighty-five have used " Textularia," as shown in the following list :
