4. Miliolidaceae: test porcellanous, imperforate, spirally coiled or
cyclic, often chambered except in _Cornuspira_: simple in _Squamulina_.
_Cornuspira_, Max Sch.; _Peneroplis_, Montf.; _Miliolina_, Lam. (incl.
_Biloculina_ (Fig. 15), _Triloculina_, _Quinqueloculina_ (Figs. 14, 4;
15, B), _Spiroloculina_ (Fig. 13, 5) of d'Orb.); _Alveolina_, d'Orb.;
_Hauerina_, d'Orb.; _Calcituba_, Roboz; _Orbitolites_, Lam.;
_Orbiculina_, Lam.; _Alveolina_, Park. and Jeffr.; _Nubecularia_, Def.;
Squamulina, Max Sch. (Fig. 14, 3).
5. Textulariaceae: test calcareous, hyaline, perforated; chambers
increasing in size in two alternating rows, or three, or passing into a
spiral. _Textularia_, Def.; _Bulimina_, d'Orb.; _Cassidulina_, d'Orb.
6. Cheilostomellaceae: test vitreous, delicate, finely perforated,
chambered, isomorphic with the spiral forms of the Miliolidaceae.
_Cheilostomella_, Reuss.
7. Lagenaceae: Test vitreous, very finely perforate, chambers with a
distinct pylome projecting (ectosolenial), or turned in (entosolenial),
often succeeding to form a necklace-like shell. _Lagena_, Walker and Boys
(Fig. 13, 2); _Nodosaria_, Lam. (Fig. 13, 3); _Cristellaria_, Lam.;
_Frondicularia_, Def. (Fig. 13, 4); _Polymorphina_, Lam.; _Ramulina_,
Wright.
8. Globigerinidae: test vitreous, perforate; chambers few, dilated, and
arranged in a flat or conical spiral, usually with a crescentic pylome to
the last. _Globigerina_, d'Orb. (Figs. 13, 6; 16, 2); _Hastigerina_, Wyv.
Thoms.; _Orbulina_, d'Orb. (Fig. 16, 1).
9. Rotaliaceae; test vitreous, perforate, usually a conical spiral (like
a snail), chambers often subdivided into chamberlets, and with a proper
wall, and intermediate skeleton traversed by canals. _Rotalia_, Lam.
(Fig. 14, 2); _Planorbulina_, d'Orb. (Fig. 13, 9); _Polytrema_, Risso;
_Spirillina_, Ehr. (non-septate); _Patellina_, Will.; _Discorbina_, P.
and J. (Fig. 13, 7).
10. Nummulitaceae: test usually a complex spiral, the turns completely
investing their predecessors: wall finely tubular, often with a proper
wall and intermediate skeleton. _Fusulina_, Fisch.; _Polystomella_, Lam.;
_Nummulites_, d'Orb. (Fig. 13, 11); _Orbitoides_, d'Orb.
