(a) With oral spines. 

 1. L. PUNCTATA, Hassall. PI. IV, fig. 1. 



Cellulis subcylindricis, irregularibus, ssepe immersis, foraminosis; puncturis in 

 seriebus transversis dispositis ; orificio oblongo, transverse, subinde angustissimo, labio 

 inferior! prominente, mucronato ; utrinque avicularium ostendente. Supra 4 — 6 spinis 

 marginalibus non raro absentibus. Ovicellulis pyramidalibus facie anteriori carinatis, 

 subinde avicularium parvum summitate gerentibus. 



Cells subcylindrica], irregular, often wholly immersed, foraminiferous ; punctures in 

 transverse rows ; orifice oblong, transverse, occasionally very narrow ; lower lip projecting, 

 mucronate ; 4 — 6 marginal spines above, often absent. Ovicell pyramidal, keeled in 

 front, and sometimes crowned with a small avicularium at the summit ; an avicularium on 

 each side of the orifice (sometimes absent).

 fig. 4 ; pi. xcvi, fig. 3. 



Habitat. — C. Crag, on shells, S. Wood j J. S. B. (very common). {Recent) 

 Britain. 



A very protean species in the recent state, though presenting very constant characters 

 in the fossil. 



2. L. INNOMINATA, Couck. PI. IV, fig. 2. 



Cellulis ovatis, utrinque sulcis 6 — 7 e linea centrah divergentibus, porosis signata; 

 orificio semicirculari labio inferiori recto ; facie cellulse anteriori juxta orificium medio per- 

 forata, tuberculo obtuso utrinque munita ; spinis marginalibus quinque. .Ovicellula facie 

 anteriori carinata ; aviculariis inter cellulas raro sparsis. 



Cells ovoid, with 6 — 7 grooves on each side radiating from a central line ; a line of 

 minute pores along each sulcus ; orifice semicircular, straight below ; a perforation in the 

 median line close below the orifice, on each side of which is a blunt tubercle ; five mar- 

 ginal spines. Ovicell keeled in front ; avicularia sparingly scattered among the cells.
