The titlepaije of the " Foraminift-res " is dated 1839, the wrapper 

 is dated 1843. Troschcl in 184U (Wicginann, Arch. pp. 3'J8-4G2) 

 translated and printed the whole work. Apparently the work was 

 printed by the government and ready for publication by 1839, but 

 lor some reason or other was delayed. The fact that Troschel re- 

 printed the paper, however, allows us to take the oriirinal date of 

 1839, rather than to disturb the history of so many specific names.

 Date.s as on the titlepages. Wiegm. Arch. 1850, 11. p. 307. 



Orbigny himself often dated his species, and in so doing he 

 frequently put the date of the writing of the MS. ; this practice 

 has, however, been condemned by all naturalists, and the species 

 must date from the date of publication. The history of the publi- 

 cation of this book is curious, but not unusual among French works 

 of this nature. It was issued in livraisons, many of which consisted 

 of plates only -|- a wrapper ; unfortunately we are able to find only 

 a very few references to the contents of the livraisons, and have 

 therefore relied upon \\ iegmann's Arch., for in that book more often 

 than not a minute account of the contents received by tlie recorder is 

 placed under review. The following are specimens of the notes in 

 our hands, from which it will bo seen that at present it is hopiless 

 to deal with the date of the plates, even did we think it advisable 

 to do 80 : —
