This form has been recorded from the Gault and Chalk of North 
Germany (Reuss) ; and from the French Gault (Berthelin). In the 
Gault of Folkstone it is found in zone v., very rare ; zone x., very 
rare ; zone xi., 45 ft. from the top, rare ; 20 ft., very rare.

The figure given by Reuss under the above name agrees exactly 
with the specimen found in the Gault, except that the latter has 
three chambers instead of four. Its distinguishing character, how- 
ever, of a commencing hooked process is of value most probably only 
in separating local varieties of the N. communis type. Previously 
recorded from the Upper Hils-clay of Germany (Reuss). In the 
Gault it is found in zone xi., 25 ft. from the top, one specimen. 
N. (D.) xiphioides Reuss, plate VIII. fig. 36.

vol. xlvi. p. 43, pi. iii. fig. 1. 
The specimen originally figured by Reuss possessed seven to eight 
chambers, whilst the Gault specimen has only four. There is no 
doubt, however, that this is the same species, as it possesses the 
distinct characters of a spike at the commencement placed eccen- 
trically, and has the chambers separated by deeply marked sutural 
lines. Previously found in the Mimimus-cl&j of North Germany 
(Reuss) ; and in the French Gault (Berthelin). In the Folkestone 
Gault it is found in zone v., very rare. 
Nodosaria (D.) legumen Reuss, plate VIII. fig. 37.

Sitzungsb. d. k. Ak. Wiss. Wien, p. 187, plate iii. fig 5. 
This is a well-defined and widely distributed form in the Gault. 
It has been found in various strata of the Chalk series in Bohemia, 
Galicia, and Hanover ; in the Gault of the Rhine (Reuss) ; in the 
Gault of Folkestone (Rupert Jones) ; and in the Gault of Montcley 
(Berthelin). In the Folkestone Gault it is found in zone vii., very 
rare ; zone xi., 50 ft. from the top, frequent ; 40 ft., rare ; 35 ft., rare.
