Neoschwagerina globosa. Very rare, if really present 

 at all ; I have once seen a doubtful tiace of it in one 

 of my slices. 

 The preponderance of Neoschwagerina globosa in the upper, 

 and of Fusulina in the lower series makes the contrast very 

 striking, and in this connection, there are two important facts to 

 be mentioned : — (I) Helicoprion Bessonowi Kaepinski, which was 

 lirst found in the Artinskian of the Ural occurs at Hanaw^a, prov. 

 h>himotsuke, in a limestone with abundant Fusulina japonica 

 var.^^ (II) Neoschwagerina globosa seems more closely allied to N. 

 craliculifera of Schellwien found in the ' Doliolina '-limestone 

 lying immediately beneath a limestone with Nenodiscus tangticus 

 ScHELLWiEX of the lower Triassic in Semenow mountains of north- 

 eastern Tibet,^^ than to the typical N. craliculifera from Japan 

 and China.
