2 FORAMINIFERA OF THE CRAG. 



' Testaceographia ac Zoophytographia,' to which reference is made by him, are unfor- 

 tunately so diverse in character that no generic group can be founded upon them. 

 Whilst some of the drawings are probably intended for specimens of the genus now 

 under consideration, the others comprise Cristellaria, Nummulina, and Planorbidina ; so 

 that we are most unwilhngly compelled to sacrifice a generic name dedicated to one of 

 the earliest and most persevering students of Microzoa.

' In appending to each typical and varietal form some of the names under which it has been mentioned 

 by previous authors, we have not attempted a complete synonymy. Our rule has rather been to give 

 reference in every case to the description and figures which have the right of priority in nomenclature, to a 

 few of the earlier well-known standard works on general zoology, and to such more modern memoirs as are 

 devoted to the Protozoa, and may be easily referred to by the student. Where the number of references 

 has necessitated a selection, those have been preferred with which figures are given. With the subvarietal 

 forms we have given still fewer references. The adoption of this course has been forced upon us by the 

 length to which an exhaustive synonomy would extend. It maybe said without doubt, that a complete list 

 of authorities for some such species as the typical Miliola seminulum would occupy several pages, and would 

 be of little use when finished, except as a curiosity of literature. The plan pursued by Mr. Jefireys in his 

 admirable work on Conchology, — that of giving only the key to the first description of the species, and a 

 reference to its place in the last standard work on the subject, is an admirable one, but unfortunately not 

 open to us, for want of the standard.
