shows that Neosckwagerina and Doliolina (including Sumalinnd) 

 have their distribution almost entirel}' confined to the Pacific 

 ocean, which seems to be their proper habitat. 



Studying the Fmulina of tlie Garnie Alps, Schellwien ar- 

 rived at an important conclusion. '^ According to this author, 

 species of Fusulina s. s. bear a local nature in striking contrast 

 to Schvmgerina princeps and many other allied forms, which show 

 a wide distribution. Tschernyschew,^^ however, considered this 

 view as direct contradiction to the theory of derivation of >^Wi?ra^m'/irr 

 from Fusulina s. s. and pointed ont the occurence of some Carnic 

 species and a variety of Salt-range species in the Russian Car- 

 boniferous. Be that as it may, it seems to me that the derivation of 

 Sehwagerina from Fusulina has no relation to the view maintained 

 by Schellwien.
