§3. D'ORBIGNY'S FORAMINIFERA OF SOUTH AMERICA. 



Species mentioned in the '■ Tableau Methodique,' and sub- 

 sequently described and figured by D'Orbigny in the Voyage 

 dans I'Am^rique Meridionale (le Br^sil, la R^publique Orien- 

 tale de 1' Uruguay, la Republique Argentine, la Patagonie, 

 la Republique du Chili, la Republique de Bolivia, la Repub- 

 lique du Pdrou), ex^cutd pendant les annees 1826-33. Par 

 Alcide D'Orbigny. Vol. V. 5^ partie, Foraminiftres. 4to, 

 Paris, 1839. In this monograph references are made to that 

 of the Canaries ; and this fact decides the order of date. 



1. Polystomella Lessonii^ D'Orb. 



Polystomella Lessonii, D'Orb. Ann. Sci. Nat. vol. vii. p. 284. no. 6 ; Voy. 

 Amer. Merid. p. 29. no. 17, pi. 3. figs. 1, 2. 



" Hah. The shores of Patagonia, to the south of the mouth 

 of the Rio Negro, and in sands from the Falkland Islands." 



This appears to be a subvariety of Polystomella macella. 

 F. & M. 



Soldani's figures of Glohigerina hulloides are referred to 

 amongst other representations of the same species in this work 

 (p. 9, note^ & p. 37) ; no fresh drawing of it is given. 



§ 4. D'ORBIGNY'S FOSSIL FORAMINIFERA OF THE 

 VIENNA BASIN. 



Eight other species enumerated in the ' Tableau Metho- 

 dique ' were without reference to figures or definition of cha- 

 racters until the publication of D'Orbigny's Vienna-Basin 

 Monograph in 1846 (Foraminiiferes fossiles du Bassin tertiaire 

 de Vienne, par Alcide d'Orbigny. 4to, Paris, 1846). They 

 are as follow : — 



1. Textularia carinata^ D'Orb. 



Textularia carinata, Ann. Sci. Nat. vol. vii. p. 2G3. no. 23 j For. Foss. 

 Vien. p. 247, pi. 14. figs. 32-34. 



" Hah. Living at Rimini, in the Adriatic ; fossil at Coron- 

 cina, near Sienna, and at Nussdorf, in Austria."
