north to Seaham on the south they have been pretty evenly clis 

 tributed, always occurring in the deeper dredgings (30 to 45 

 fathoms), and seldom more than two or three examples in one 

 parcel of sand. It is not uncommon in the Norwegian seas, and 

 was first noticed by Messrs. Parker and Jones in their memoir on 

 •'Toraminifera from the Coast of Norway." (Ann. & Mag. Nat 

 Hist., 2nd Series, vol. XIX.) 



2. NODOSABJA, Lamk. 



1 . N. scalaeis, Batsch. Nodosaria radicula. Rec. For. Gt. Br. 



PL II, figs. 36-38. 



In the Appendix to Carpenter's "Introduction," this species 

 is given as N. longicauda, D'Orb. ; Batsch, however, had previ- 

 ously described and figured the same form under the specific 

 designation u scalar is " which name therefore takes precedence.

PI. II, fig. 39. 



In dredgings 30 to 45 fathoms ; Berwick Bay, off Holy Island, 

 and off Seaham Harbour, Very rare. It is only under very 

 favourable circumstances that this slender and delicate shell can 

 be obtained entire ; nearly all the specimens I have seen are 

 more or less broken.
