of rows of exogenous beads or shortened spines. The difference between the ornament 
in this particular stage and that of Nodosaria verruculosa is exceedingly slight. 
Nodosaria hispida, var. sublineata, has only been noticed at Station 33, off Bermuda, 
135 fathoms, and at Station 122, south-west of Pernambuco, 350 fathoms.

The rare living examples of this form are typified by straight shell with five subglobular 
segments, the exterior beset with little tubercles or warts. The specimen figured by 
Neugeboren, under the name Nodosaria verruculosa , as far as can be gathered from the 
description and the somewhat rough illustration, answers to these characters in all essential 
points. 
The species has only been met with at one Challenger Station, off the Ki Islands, 
129 fathoms. 
The fossil specimens originally described were from the Miocene of Ober-Lapugy, 
in Transylvania.

Under the name Nautilus ( Orthoceras ) comatus, Batsch has figured two straight, 
tapering, Nodosarian shells, with a surface-ornament of thin longitudinal costae. One of 
them is of short Glanduline form, resembling figs. 1, 2, and 3 of PL LXIV. ; the other is 
of more slender build, something like fig. 5, but even longer proportionately; in both 
the ornament ceases near the middle of the final segment, leaving the surface smooth at 
the oral end. With a series of specimens before us, such as that from which the 
illustrations have been selected, it appears probable enough that the author was justified 
in assigning his two shells to the same species, notwithstanding their dissimilarity of 
contour. 
That Batscli’s shorter drawing,- and some of the younger examples now figured, are 
identical with Glandulina glans of the “ Tableau Methodique ” becomes evident on 
comparing them with d’Orbigny ’s model of the latter species ; and it is worthy of
