otherwise the forms are fairly comparable. Both occurrences as 

 given above are from the Upper Cretaceous. The comparatively 

 finely perforated test points to its relationship with Truncatulina 

 rather than Discorbina. 

 Only one specimen found.

This species is by no means common in our material, but the 

 specimens seen are quite typical, and compare closely with the same 

 form from other Cretaceous deposits in Europe and elsewhere. 



PULVINULINA CARPENTER! ReUSS Sp.

This is a neat Pulvinulina of the P. caracolla type, the distin- 

 guishing features being the smooth, non-excavate, superior surface 

 of the shell and its thin, denticulate margin. The difference between 

 the South African specimens and the English consist in the slightly 

 smaller dimensions of the former, and the almost complete dis- 

 appearance of the peripheral denticulse in some specimens, an 

 extreme case of which is figured here (pi. xxix., figs. 14, 14fl).
