" Ilab. Fossil in the neighbourliood of Sienna." 



This is another case of difficiihy, arising from incorrect 

 quotations. D'Orbigny has " pi. 4. figs. K, //," which repre- 

 sent small Gasteropods or spiral Annelids, and are further 

 shown to be wrong by the letterpress reference. Turning to 

 pi. 3, the first four figures, II-L, all seem to represent small 

 varieties of Planorhulina ; and as H & I correspond with 

 Soldani's text-name, quoted by D'Orbigny, we have made 

 our copy from them, and taken them as the basis for determi- 

 nation. 



Figs. //, / are probably Planorhulina Ungeriana, D'Orb. sji., 

 especially resembling its barely separable subvariety known 

 as PL Akneriana (D'Orb.) ; and /v, L (belonging to Soldani's 

 "llammoniffi concavo-umbilicatce^^) seem to he PI. ammonoiJes, 

 D'Orb. sp.

No locality given. (Fossil at Coroncina, Soldani.) 



This is Pulvinulina elegans, a good representative of an 

 inqDortant section of the genus. It is not uncommon in deep 

 water, and is often met with as a fossil in Tertiary clays.

" Hah. Fossil at Coroncina." (In the ^Mediterranean, and 

 fossil at Sienna, Soldani.) 



The large, finely made, many-chambered variety of Rotalia 

 Beccarii.) found at llimini, in the Adriatic. Soldani says of 

 it: — " ( )innium hujus s])ecioi llanimoiuarum, qua* hucusque 

 ad manus nostras venerunt, maxinuv." It differs from R. 

 Beccarii chiefiy in its lower surface, which shows the inner 

 turns of the s})ire to a considerable extent, and is free from the 

 granulation and sutural ruggedness whicli are usually marked 

 characters in the type. D'Orbigny's hxuility for the variety 

 as a fossil must stand on his own authority. Soldani men- 

 tions it as a constituent of the littoral sands oi the Adriatic.
