  These 
  are

  they 
  are 
  of

  The 
  specimen 
  figured 
  is 
  partially 
  imbedded 
  in 
  the 
  matrix, 
  though 
  

   it 
  is 
  well 
  preserved 
  and 
  of 
  large 
  size. 
  The 
  outer 
  layer 
  of 
  the 
  test 
  is 
  

   mostly 
  removed, 
  exhibiting 
  the 
  very 
  fine 
  and 
  close 
  transverse 
  stria? 
  

   which 
  occur 
  between 
  the 
  longitudinal 
  flutings. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  

   very 
  abundant, 
  and 
  forms 
  the 
  chief 
  feature 
  of 
  the
