This species has hitherto been known from Liassic strata, 
and it occurs commonly in nearly all Tertiary beds. 
The Rhetic specimen undoubtedly belongs to this type, 
which is perhaps the most rudimentary form of the genus. 
The test of the example found is finely arenaceous. 
One specimen, from bed no. 2, at Wedmore.

This species, which is so well distributed through the 
Secondary and Tertiary formations, is not known from strata 
earlier than the Permian. It is one of the few hyaline Fora- 
minifera which were noticed in thin sections of the “ Wedmore
