Of the remainder of the recent Foraminifera the records are as 

 follows : — 



Mediterranean, 62. 



Adriatic, 162. (In the Vienna Memoir he says he found 140 

 only).^ 



English coast, 6. 



Antilles, 14. (In the Vienna Memoir he says 118 {sic, should 

 be 117, see p. 44), but this included the species from Ramon de la 

 Sagra's material, and, as we shall see, he had some doubts in 1839 

 as to some of these earlier records.) 



Madagascar, 9. (In our Kerimba Monograph we gave a list of 

 these and of those recorded by him from the neighbouring island of 

 Mauritius.) ^ 



Various tropical localities, 73. 



BalJast-sand (" sahle de delestage"), 6. (This was probably 

 gathered from ocean-going vessels in the harbour of La Rochelle.) 



The fossil species recorded are from a great number of localities, 

 especially from the Soldani material (see p. 6) from Sienna, Of 

 what may be called local fossils the records are : — 



Environs de Bordeaux, 38. 



Environs de Dax (Landes), 31. 



Pauillac (Gironde), 5. 



Calcaire Jurassique de la Charente Inferieure, 1. 



A year after the publication of the " Tableau Methodique," 

 de Ferussac published in his " Bulletin " a list of Corrections and 

 Additions, to which I have already referred (see p. 23).^ In this 

 he gives a list of twelve " Especes restees inconnues k M. d'Orbigny " ; 

 he gives eight pages of Errata and Addenda consisting of revised 

 or amplified synonymies, and nine further species to be added in 

 their places from previous authors. (See Appendix H.) In his 

 opening paragraph he observes that it is necessary to publish 

 these corrigenda as soon as possible, and adds, " These rectifica- 

 tions, the publication of which was agreed upon with him, are the 

 more necessary for the reason that people might think that 

 d'Orbigny did not admit the validity of the species which he did 

 not cite, seeing that he announced a complete ' Tableau,' " and 

 points out (see p. 23) that they were due to the hurry of his

 preserved when the cellars of the Musee de Pal^ontologie were flooded (see p. 13), 

 by the attention which had been paid to it by Schlumberger.
