In the 'Systeme des Animaux sans Vertebrcs' (1801), La- 

 marck enumerated a few forms (some being grouped as Molluscs, 

 others as Corals). All but one of these are well known on 

 account of subsequent notices by himself and others. 



In the ' Annales du Museum' (1804), vol. v. p. 179, p. 237, 

 and p. 349, Lamarck more fully described some Foraminifera \i\ 

 his ' Suite des Memoires sur les Fossiles des Environs de Paris.' 

 Most of these were figured in the Ann. Mus. vol. viii. pi. 62. 

 figs. 7-16, and vol. ix. pi. 17. figs. 1-6. Nearly all these figures 

 were copied in the 'Tableau Encyclopedique et Methodique' 

 (Part 23, 1816), pi. 465. figs. 2-4, 6-8; pi. 466. figs. 1-8; 

 and pi. 469. figs. 2, 3. In the ' Histoire Naturelle des Animaux 

 sans Vertebres' (1816-22), vols. ii. & vii., Lamarck again 

 described his species (with one or two exceptions), and added 

 two others, arranging the whole under a new classification, 

 which, however, being (like the previous arrangement) based on 

 the supposed Cephalopodous character of these little shells, is 

 of no account. 



In the * Tableau Encyclop. Meth.' (pi. 466-470), others be- 

 sides those first described by Lamarck are figured ; namely, a 

 few from older authors, and several of the forms figured and 

 described by Fichtel and Moll : but as little need be said respect- 

 ing these besides restoring to them their original trivial names 

 (many of which have been twice altered by Lamarck, — once in 

 the 'Tabl. Encycl. Meth.,' and again in the Mnim. s. Vert/), 

 we shall treat of them by themselves, after having noticed in 

 detail the real Laraarckian species. 



The figures given by Lamarck in the ' Annales du Museum,' 

 used also in the ' Tabl. Enc. Meth.,' were again and again copied 

 by others; especially in Parkinson's 'Organic Remains of a 

 Former World' (1811), pi. 11 ; Crouch's ' Illustrated Introduc- 

 tion to Lamarck's Conchology' (1827), pi. 20 & 22; Brown's 

 ' Conchologist's Text-Book' (1833), pi. 10; and Brown's 'Ele- 

 ments of Fossil Conchology' (1843), pi. 1, 2, & 3. 



The following are consecutive lists of the Foraminifera de- 

 scribed and figured by Lamarck in his several works —
