48 FORAMINIFERA OF THE CRAG. 
Characters.—Shell more or less acutely ovate or subfusiform, composed of short sub- 
cylindrical chambers, few in number, and increasing rapidly in size with the growth of 
the shell. Pseudopodial aperture at the summit of the terminal chamber, usually round, 
but becoming more slit-like when the chambers become compressed. Surface smooth. 
‘The striate variety is known as Gi. glans, D’Orb. Length about th inch. 
Glandulina levigata is an interesting subtypical form of Modosarina, distinguished 
from JVodosari@ proper by its short, subglobular, fusiform shape. On the other hand, it is 
frequently almost impossible to separate the Glanduline from the short Linguline varieties 
of the type, which often differ in nothing save an inappreciable amount of flattening in the 
shells of the latter. 
The specimens from Sutton in Mr. Searles Wood’s collection are somewhat above the 
average size; and, from their number, G/. /evigata appears to have been a tolerably common 
form in the beds examined by him. 
In comparison with the other Nodosarine, Glandulina is nowhere abundant in a 
recent state. In the muddy bed of the Gulf of Suez at 30 to 40 fathoms, in the 
Mediterranean at from 80 to 100 fathoms, off Shetland at about 70 fathoms, off the 
Norwegian coast at a similar depth, and within the Arctic Circle at 160 fathoms, it is to 
be found sparingly distributed. 
It is less rare in a fossil condition, though the examples are generally very small, and 
may be met with in the Upper Triassic Clay of Chellaston, im many Liassic marls, in the 
Oxford Clay of Leighton-Buzzard, the Kimmeridge Clay of Aylesbury, in the Chalk-marl 
of the South-east of England, and in the Tertiaries of Hurope, New Zealand, &c.

General characters.—Shell cylindrical, composed of several nearly equal segments, 
arranged in a straight series ; either smooth or ornamented with ribs, granules, or spines ; 
septal lines more or less depressed, making constrictions at right angles to the long axis 
of the shell. Pseudopodial aperture simple, central, often pouting.
