THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
As a fossil it has been found in the London Clay (Jones and Parker), in beds of 
Miocene age in Austria and elsewhere (d’Orbigny, Reuss, &c.), in the later Tertiaries of 
Italy (Soldani, d’Orbigny), and in the Post-tertiary deposits of Ireland (Wright), of 
Canada (Dawson), and of Norway (Crosskey and Robertson).

This is a Dentaline variety with fusiform segments, — a transition form between 
Nodosaria pyrula, d’Orbigny, and Dentalina guttifera, d’Orbigny. 
Its occurrence has been noted in the North Atlantic, and in the North and South 
Pacific, at various depths from 95 to 1400 fathoms ; and its distribution, whether recent 
or fossil, probably corresponds with that of the allied modifications of the type.
