single paragraph, he, oti the ground of some observations which he 

 appears to have made by means of sections, denies the relationship 

 to Textularia and places the genus in the group of Orbitolina. He 

 gives no figures, and does not appear to have written further on the 

 subject. K. Martin ^ refutes Schlumberger's observations and 

 confirms Carpenter's conjecture as to its relationship {supra). 

 Goes '' describes and figures an abnormal Textularian, as " very 

 common," in the Caribbean Sea, which in its lateral compression 

 strongly suggests d'OrbiLjny's Cuneolina. Goes rei'ers it to 

 Textularia troclms d'Orb., but at this date Goes was differentiatino- 

 specific forms to a very limited extent only, and the form which 

 he figures bears only a most distant rehitionship with d'Orbigny's 

 Cretaceous species T. trochus. Finally, in going through Mr. 

 Edward J. Halkyard's slides and material from the Blue Marl 

 (Bartonien) of the Cote des Basques, Biarritz, and in preparing Ins 

 MS. for publication, we have found a species, named by Halky;trd 

 Textularia. hiarntzensis, which is clearly referable to tliis genus. 

 His description and figures, with our observations thereupon, will 

 be published in due course in the Proceedings of the Manchester 

 Literary and Philosophical Society. 



Uniloculina makes its first appearance in the Cuba Memoir 

 among the Agathistegues, as a recent form from the Indian coast, 

 and in the Vienna Memoir he gives a figure, and announces in both 

 places another mysterious Model, No. 1 11 oT the " Fifth Instalment."^ 

 Keuss-Fritsch attempt a Model (iSTo. 16 : JSTo. 82 in Sherborn). 

 D'Orbigny's species U. indica is clearly a particularly reniforin 

 (or kidney-shaped) type of the early, or " adelosine " stage of a 

 strongly sulcate Miliolina (cf. 3f. pulchella). It need not, there- 

 fore, detain us (see Plate X, fig. o) ;* and the same course mi^^ht be 

 taken with Ceuciloculina, which has exactly the same d'Orbign\ an 

 history as Uniloculina,^ and is, in addition, figured for the first 

 time in the South American Memoir (pi. ix, figs. 11, 12), in its 

 only species, C. triangtUarisJ^ It was found only on the Para- 

 gonian coast, and is merely a variety of Miliolina tricarinata,

* Parker refers to tbe genus and giv.'S a figure (op. cit., p. 74. note 2, fig. 1), 

 and it bas been referred to in systematic works, but it has only been revived 

 or accepted by Terquem in his paper on the Dunkerque Foramiidfera (Paris 

 (1875 -6), pt. 3, p. 132, pi. xvii., figs. 8a, 6), who gives the name Uniloculirfi orbignyi 

 to a somewhat similar megalospberic primordial stage of a sulcate Militliua, 

 probably M. bicornis. We have found identical specimens of this stage of 

 Miliolina pulchella in the shore sands at Chatelaillon.
