M. Terqtjem's Researches on the Foraminifera of the Lias and 

 the Oolites. 



I. Reclierclies sur les Foraminiferes de Vetage moyen et de Vetage 

 inferieur dn Lias. Par M. Teeqtjem, &c, Metz, 1862. Second 

 Memoire. Extrait des ' Me'moires de I'Academie Imperiale de 

 Metz/ annee 1860-61. 



M. Terquem, having given some general information about the llhizo- 

 pods, taking Scbultze's plan of classifieation, proceeds to particularize 

 the results of his researches in the several stages of the Lias. As a 

 rule, he finds that where Entomostraca occur, Foraminifera are also 

 found, whether in calcareous, marly, or sandy strata. The Upper 

 Lias has as yet proved unproductive of these Microzoa. In the 

 middle stage, the oolitic marls (marnes a ovoides ferrugineux) have 

 yielded numerous Oolince [Lagena;'], Nodosaria?, Frondicidarice, 

 Dentalinoe, Marginidinee, and Cristellarice, arranged in 59 species 

 by M. Terquem. He found a GlanduJina, too, and an Orbulina, 

 which he had previouslj' termed Orbicidina ; also materials for two 

 new genera, namely: — (1) Uncinidina, described but not named in 

 his first memoir (p. 678) — a free, hyaline, slender tube, straight or 

 curved, square in section, without septa, with attenuated eqiial ends, 

 variously hooked ; (2) Tnvolutina, English specimens of Avhidi were
