Skeletons of Radiolaria occur in rocks of various ages, as in Sicily, the Nicobars (both tertiary), and the Barbadoes. In reproduction there are numerous forms with a skeleton in which di\ision begins with a cleavage of the central cajisulc and usually extends through the extracapsulura. If this latter does not divide a colony results, in which a jelly ,li. y/ ^ ^JS^ ^^.
