A CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENIES FUSULINA. 19 



to P^npeule'^ nnd Schellwien, many forms of FusuUna occurs in 

 a complex of limestones of Iladi Veli Oglou and Aktchal Dagli 

 near Balia Maaden. From Hadi Veli Oglou, Schellwien mentions 

 DoHoUna att". lepida, Xcoschwagerina craliculifcra, Schwagerina 

 princcps, Fvsulina japonica and F. tenuissima which are in as- 

 sociation with Produclus cfr. sumatrensis, JVaticopsis, Bellerophon, 

 Plewotomarla, 3Iurchisonia etc. while from Aktchal Uagli N. 

 craticuUfera and S. princeps are recorded. 



Also in Cilician Tarsus, a. limestone with Fusulina cylindrica 

 seems to occur. 



Island of Chios : — We owe much to Teller-^ for our knowledge 

 of the existence of a Fusulina-WmQsionQ in this island. Stache,^^ 

 who made a study of the collection made by Teller, mentions the 

 existence of F. Suessl Stäche and /'. elongata Schum. in the 

 limestone. 



Palermo, Sicily : — In 1872, Permian limestones with a rich 

 fauna were found in the Sosio valley in the Province of Palermo in 

 Sicily. The fauna has been described in detail by Gemmellaro^^ 

 and is remarkable for the numerous Cephalopoda that it contains 

 (fifty nine species of Ammonites and eighteen species of Nautilus), 

 showing an affinity on one side to the Artinskian forms, and in 

 the other, to some of the Produclus-\\uiQ?,ione?>. The two genera 

 of Brachiopoda, Richthofenia and Leptodus, characteristic of the 

 Asiatic Permocarboniferous deposits, are also known from this 

 place. At Rocca di S Benedetto, the Fusulina-WvßQBiomQ is 

 described as covered by a loose ' Calcare Grossalono.' To my
