REPORT ON THE RADIOLARIA
clxxv

B. Stöhr, in his list of Miocene Radiolaria from Grotte (L. N. 35, p. 84, 1880), records 118 species, of which 29 are still living.

C. Teuscher, who at my request has made a large number of comparative measurements and drawings, both of fossil and living Radiolaria, comes to the conclusion that numerous Spumellaria and Nassellaria from Barbados are to-day extant and unchanged in the Radiolarian ooze of the deep Pacific Ocean (compare § 242A, and p. 1760, Note).

D. From the comparative investigations, which I have made during the last ten years into the recent deep-sea Radiolaria of the Challenger collection and the Miocene Polycystina of Barbados, it appears that about a quarter of the latter are identical with living species of the former.
