This species is distinguished from L. spiralis by its smaller, more globose body, and the peculiar Fig. 76.—Side view of Lesquereusia exnstomiiim. x 280. in relation to it, of the neck (fig. 76). Like L. spiralis the animal is very active in its movements, and the pseudopodia have a habit of enveloping the test; sometimes a long stream of ectoplasm will issue from the mouth of the test, and send out from this short subsidiary pseudopodia on both sides. We have only met with the species in the locality above named. 4. Lesquereusia insequalis sp. nor. (Plate XXIII, fig. 12.) Larger than average examples of L. sjiiralis, simi- larly constructed but less elegant, differing mainly in the outline of the test, which is relatively much broader, and in side view is divided roughly by a shallow depression on the dorsal surface into two turgid unequal portions.
