Being naturally interested in the question of the rarity of Forami- 

 nifera in the Devonian Limestones of the world, I have continually 

 looked for opportunities of discovering additional occurrences to 

 those recorded by Terquem. 



During the writing of a paper on the Devonian Foraminifera 

 of the Tamworth District, New South Wales,* I had occasion, a 

 few years ago, to re-examine f Terquem's evidence for Devonian 

 Foraminifera recorded by him from Paffrath in the Eifel.J At 

 that time I sliced several pieces of Devonian limestone carrying 

 other fossils, specimens of which are in . the collection of the 

 National Museum, Melbourne. These gave some good results 

 which I promised to record at a future date. Hence the present 

 paper.
