detected. Their tests are, in many cases, badly corroded, but a 

 sufficient number of specimens could be secured to obtain the dia- 

 gnostic characters for the determination of the species.

One well-defined specimen occurs in the limestone from Need's 

 Camp. It has been previously recorded from the Rhaetic, Aptian, and 

 Cretaceous beds of Europe, and more recently from the Cretaceous of 

 Pondoland.

This species is perhaps the most abundant foramiuifer in the Need's 

 Camp limestone. It is subject to great variation. Some of the short 

 and wide forms resemble 8. gramen, d'Orb. sp., but for their more 

 numerous septation. In the majority of cases the spiroplectine com- 

 mencement is almost concealed, as in fig. 3 ; whilst in others it is 

 partially unrolled and conspicuous, as in fig. 4.
