stage in the life-history of Quinqueloculina. The figures re- 

 ferred to are probably the young of Q. secans {8) and Q. se- 

 minulum (T, tJ).

Fig. Q on the same plate would have better accorded with 

 the names semistriata and striatula. It is true that R may be 

 the young of a striate or even costate form.

APPENDIX. 



To render it complete, our review of Soldani's ' Testaceo- 

 graphia ' and of the ' Tableau Mdthodique ' still requires a few 

 remarks concerning subsequent references made by D'Orbigny 

 either to figures in Soldani's works not alluded to in the 

 ' Tableau,' or to species alluded to in the ' Tableau ' without 

 description or reference to any illustration. 



The memoirs which thus aid us in determining the mean- 

 ing of the author with respect to a few out of the very large 

 number of species enumerated in the ' Tableau,' which would 

 otherwise lapse for want of definition, are those on the recent 

 Foraminifera of Cuba, of the Canaries, and of South America, 

 and on the fossil Foraminifera of the Vienna Basin. 



We do not propose at present to speak generally of the 

 Foraminifera described in these works, but to confine our- 

 selves to the few species which stand in some relation either 

 to the ' Testaceographia ' or to the ' Tableau Methodique.' 



There is just a little difiiculty in settling the order of pre- 

 cedence of the three first-named monographs. The best 

 known edition of the Cuba memoir is the folio, written in 

 Spanish and published in Paris in 1840; but we find that an 

 earlier octavo edition in French, without plates, was issued in
