''Remarks:'' There is no reason to abandon the traditional designation of organic lining (as used by Loeblich & Tappan, 1987) in favour of "inner organic lining" (IOL) as introduced by Anderson and Bé (1978). The eventual use of an "outer organic layer" called for by the IOL that might be applied either to the outer organic cover of the biomineralized shell or to the temporary organic envelope that in some species protects the process of chamber formation would add confusion in the description of the several layers of the cell envelope and their specific functions. Moreover, the term "inner organic lining" is easily confused with the term "inner lining" which is equivalent to "inner lamella", the inner calcified lamella of the primary wall in perforate foraminifera.
