At last, though very incompletely, a new species from Christmas 
Island is described by Jones and CHAPMAN as Q. Andrewsiana. 
There is only a median tubercle d 9.75 mum. 
At last from a great number of places the subgenus Lepidocyclina 
is mentioned, the forms however could not definitely be determined, 
these places are Java’), N.W. Guinea’), Koor’), Batjan*), Obi *) 
and the Philippines *). 
Of all authors only H. Dovvi..¥ has tried to make use of the 
Indian Lepidocyclinas as leading fossils, in doing which he supports 
himself on experience gathered elsewhere. He gives the following 
table : 
Burdigalien L. Tournoueri, L. sumatrensis. 
Aquitanien sup. L. insulae-natalis. 
Aquitanien inf. L. formosa. 
Stampien L. formosa, with Nummulites subbrongniarti. 
In the following description of our material we shall combine 
the sorts that belong stratigraphically together, beginning with the 
oldest, so that we shall be able to see, whether our results agree 
with those obtained by DouvuuÉ. 
O. (Lepidocyclina) aff. formosa SCHLUMBERGER. 
In a lime-marl, about 2 km. West of the Kainpong Pamaluan 
occurred, besides small Orbitoides, other Foraminifera and corals, 
many splendidly conserved large Orbitoides, which could be washed out 
in toto from the marl, so that it was easy to prepare orientated 
sections. 
The scale is flat, circular (d. 23 mm.) and provided with a median 
tubercle (d 4 h 3.5 mm.). Most seales are flat, some however show 
a saddle-shaped bend. At the surface one easily discovers the lateral 
ventricles bordered by polygons, whilst at the edges one can here 
and there see the median chambers dimly shining through. Searcely 
any vestiges of skeleton-columns are to be seen at the surface. 
Horizontal section. Two horizontal sections have cut the median 
chambers in various sectors. These are more or less spatulate. The 
embryonal chamber is not touched; it must however be very small,
