8. anceps is a well-known Cretaceous species, occurring in the Chalk 

 of England, Westphalia, and Bohemia, and in the Gault of Folkestone. 



SPIROPLECTA ANCEPS, Eeuss sp., var. INFRACTA, var. nov. 

 (Plate XIV, fig. 5.) 



Description. Test formed in two stages, the first with an incon- 

 spicuous spiroplectine commencement and a short textularian series, as 

 in S. anceps, from which proceeds an irregularly septate and coarsely 

 formed test with rougly dentate margins. 



Total length, T175 mm. ; length of primary test, O351 mm. ; width 

 of test at oral extremity, O675 mm. 



SPIROPLECTA DEFLATA, sp. nov. 

 (Plate XIV, fig. 2.) 



Description. The test of this species is rather irregularly con- 

 structed of arenaceous particles, but the general plan of structure can 

 be made out, especially when moistened ; it then shows the textularian 

 series with chambers much deflated and with a rude spiral series at 

 the aboral end of the test. 



Two specimens were found, of nearly equal size. The figured 

 specimen has a length of - 919 mm. 



This species bears the same relationship to 8. praelonga, Eeuss sp.* 

 that Gaudryina dispansa, Chapman f does to G. pupoides, d'Orb.

The present examples are fragmentary but show sufficient characters 

 to justify their reference to the above species. The costation is rather 

 close and more numerous than is generally the case with the European
