JRemarhs on the Foraminifera. By Prof. T. Rupert Jones. 63 



Scinde, Loffcusia rock of Persia, Orbitoidal limestones of the Alps, 

 India, Alabama, Jamaica, and Java, and Amphistegina limestone of 

 Australia; besides vastly adding to the bulk of other limestones 

 and many thick clays, and further, by means of their glauconitic 

 casts, to that of numerous sandy and other strata. Some of the 

 oldest rocks even are largely composed of them, in the forms of 

 Eozoon* Stromatopora,-\ Beceptaculites,X and their allies. 



Some kinds of OrhuUna, Glohigerina, and Pulvinulina have 

 been taken by towing nets at and near the surface of the ocean by 

 Major Owen and others. These constitute also the mass of the 

 abyssal forms. They may have more sarcode in proportion to shell
