water deposits in the IJraeklesham beds of England, and its deop- 

 sea limestoues in Europe, jS'orth Africa, and India, and other deposits 

 in the Eastern Archijjelago. It is to this last area that Messrs. 

 Newton and Holland's work refers, where the above-mentioned 

 Lower Tertiary formation is succeeded by the Middle and Upper 

 Tertiaries. 



The special localities yielding the fossils here described are: — 



Limestone; Iriomotk Island, Yayeyama Gk )UP, Riu KiO. 

 Foraminifera. 



JVIiliolina, 1 sp. 



Amphisteginn, 1 sp. 



Carpenteria, 1 sp. 



Linderina ?, 1 sp. 



Orbitoides (Lepidocycliiia), o spp. 

 Bryozoa (Po/y;oa). 



Oellepora, 2 spp. (1 sp. in the Fonno.san limestone). 

 riaufcs. 



Lithotliamnium, 2 spp. (also in the Formosan limestone). 

 Baised Coral-ueefs. 

 Foraminifera. 



Operculina, 1 sp. Tokinio-shimaand Okino yerabii, and Unten, 

 west coast of Okinawa. 



, 1 var. Itomaii, Soutliern Okinawa. 



Pulvinulina, 1 sp. Tokuuo-shima, Unten, and Motubu. 



The fossil species are mainly of Miocene age, according to the 

 European standard, but some appear to belong to a Pliocene or even 

 Pleistocene stage. Their distribution is carcfidly indicated for the 

 Eastern Archipelago, Oceania, and Japan. 



Notes on earlier information published about some fossils collected 

 by previous observers are given in the Introduction (pages 1-.5). 



A list of books and papers that have treated of the subject and a 

 tabular statement of the specific determinations make the monograph 

 more complete. 



Four quarto plates give twenty-two photographs of illustrative 

 figures and sections of the microzoa under notice ; and, though 

 somewhat coarse and indistinct, they give the general aspect of the 

 specimens, and are useful to the student who knows what to look 

 for in the minute structure of the shells. 



It should be noticed that the specimens were communicated by 

 Japanese savants, and that the letterpress of the monograph has 

 been well printed by the Japanese in Tokyo.
