VI. TEXTULARIADACEAE.--Shells perforate, vitreous or (in the larger
forms) arenaceous, in two or three alternating ranks (distichous or
tristichous). _Textularia_ (Defrance) (fig. 21).
VII. CHEILOSTOMELLACEAE.--Shells vitreous, thin, the chambers doubling
forwards and backwards as in _Miliolidae_. _Cheilostomella_ (Reuss).
VIII. LAGENIDACEAE.--Shells vitreous, often sculptured, mono-or
polythalamic, finely perforate; chambers flask-shaped, with a
protruding or an inturned stylopyle; _Lagena_ (Walker & Boys) (fig. 4,
9); _Nodosaria_ (Lamk.) (figs. 23, 4; 4, 10); _Polymorphina_ (d'Orb.)
(fig. 4, 13); _Cristellaria_ (Lamk.) (fig. 4, 11); _Frondicularia_
(Def.) (fig. 23, 3).
IX. GLOBIGERINIDACEAE.--Shells vitreous, coarsely perforated; chambers
few spheroidal rapidly increasing in size; arranged in a trochoid or
nautiloid spiral. _Globigerina_ (Lamk.) (23, 6; 4, 12); _Hastigerina_
(Wyville Thompson) (fig. 23, 5); _Orbulina_ (d'Orb.) (fig. 23, 8).
X. ROTALIDACEAE.--Shells vitreous, finely perforate; walls thick,
often double, but without an intermediate party-layer traversed by
canals; form usually spiral or trochoid. _Discorbina_ (Parker & Jones)
(fig. 4, 15); _Planorbulina_ (d'Orb.) (fig. 4, 17); _Rotalia_ (Lamk.)
(figs. 23, 1, 2; 7, 21); _Calcarina_ (d'Orb.) (fig. 23, 10);
_Polytrema_ (Risso) (fig. 23, 9).
