PROTOZOA 



Orbiculina, Lamarck ; Orbitolites, Lamarck (by a division of the 

 chambers regularly into chamberlets, and a cyclical mode of growth 

 which results in shells of the size of a shilling, a very elaborate- 

 looking structure is produced which has been admirably analysed 

 by Carpenter (40), to whose memoir the reader is specially referred). 



FIO. Xl.—MUioUna (TriloculiTia) tenera. Young living animal with ex- 

 panded pseudopodia (after Max Sciultze). A single nucleus is seen iu the

 embracing. Aperture a curved slit at the end or margin of the final 

 segment.

Order 9. ROTALIDEA, Brady. 



Characters. — Test calcareous, perforate ; free or adherent. Typi- 

 cally spiral and "rotaliform" (Fig. XII. 2), that is to say, coiled 

 in such a manner that the whole of the segments are visible on the 

 superior surface, those of the last convolution only on the inferior 

 or apertural side, sometimes one face being more convex sometimes 

 the other. Aberrant forms evolute, outspread, acervuline, or 

 irregular. Some of the higher modifications with double chamber- 

 walls, supplemental skeleton, and a system of canals. The nature 

 of this supplemental skeleton is shown in Fig. XII. 2 and 10.

 septate tube ; free or attached.

 ina, P. and J. ; Carpenteria, Gray (adherent) ; Bupertia, 

 Wallick ; Pulmnulina, P. and J. ; Botalia, Lamk. ; Calcarina, 

 D'Orb. [Shell rotaliform ; periphery furnished with radiating 

 spines ; supplemental skeleton and canal system largely developed. 

 This form is shown in a dissected condition in Fig. XII. 10. Outside 

 and between the successive chambers with finely perforated walls 

 a^, a^, a* a secondary shell-substance is deposited by the proto- 

 plasm which has a different structure. Whilst the successive 

 chambers with their finely perforate walls (resembling dentine in 

 structure) are formed by the mass of protoplasm issuing from the 

 mouth of the last-formed chamber, the secondary or supplemental- 

 shell substance is formed by the protoplasm which issues through 

 the fine perforations of the primary shell substance ; it is not 

 finely canaUculated, but is of denser substance than the primary 

 shell and traversed by coarse canals (occupied by the protoplasm) 

 which make their way to the surface of the test (c', d). In Cal- 

 carina a large bulk of this secondary shell-substance is deposited 

 around each chamber and also forms the heavy club-like spines.] 



Fam. 3. Tinoporina. Test consisting of irregularly heaped 

 chambers with (or sometimes without) a more or less distinctly 

 spiral primordial portion ; for the most part without any general 

 pseudopodial aperture.
