"Globigerina" is a word in ENGLISH
A genus of small Foraminifera, which live abundantly
at or near the surface of the sea. Their dead shells, falling to the
bottom, make up a large part of the soft mud, generally found in depths
below 3,000 feet, and called globigerina ooze. See Illust. of
Foraminifera.
How can a man’s candour be seen in all its lustre unless he has a few failings to talk of? But he had an agreeable confidence that his faults were all of a generous kind—impetuous, arm-blooded, leonine; never crawling, crafty, reptilian.
