In according precedence to the trivial name truncatulinoides, 

 Dr. Rhumbler is no doubt technically right, that is, as far as the 

 dates on the title pages are concerned ; but the name Micheliniana 

 is so well established, that even a slight excuse for its retention 

 may be willingly accepted. The uncertainty of d'Orbigny's dates 

 is shown by the fact that the memoirs on the foraminifera of the 

 Canary Isles, and of South America both bear on the title the 

 date 1839. On the very first page of the latter work allusion is 

 made to a memoir published in 1840, and this is asserted to have 

 been issued in the year previous to 1839, whilst to complete the 

 incongruity the original wrapper of my copy bears the date 1843. 

 Brady, in his ' Challenger ' lteport, notices some of these dis- 

 crepancies and accords preference to the name Micheliniana. 



The form is rare in the Malay Archipelago, and has been found 

 only at Station 2.
