1. M. procera Gos. Plate VII. Figs. 7-9. 
This is a short inflated variety of seminulum. The aperture is usually 
an undulating irregular slit, like that in certain forms of Biloculina. Some- 
times a faint longitudinal striation on the antepenultima segment is dis- 
coverable. It seems to be closely allied to MW. circularis (BORNEM.) Br., 
the chief difference being its quinqueloculine arrangement of the chambers, 
Besides, it may be identical with the inflated forms exhibited by Borne- 
mann as Quinqueloc. ovalis and cognata from Septaria clay, and impressa 
and regularis Reuss, all forms which can hardly be distinguished from 
circularis except by their quinqueloculine structure. Length 2.40 mm.

Mil. circularis Br., 1884, Chall. Rep., IX. p. 169, Pl. IV. Fig. 3. 
An ill defined form, with usually inflated segments in a triloculine 
arrangement, and a crescentic or somewhat angular mouth. It has often a 
longitudinal impression on both sides of the antepenultima segment, but 
this feature is not at all constant.

In his memoir on Fossil Foraminifere of the tertiarian basin at Vienna, 
d’Orbigny has described and designed a set of Quinqueloculine character- 
ized principally by their truncate or hollowed margin of the two last 
segments and the more or less angular projection of the two or three pre- 
ceding ones. The most of those forms are too closely allied to be ranked 
as species, and the small differences are too fickle to entitle them even 
to varietal denomination. 
With more or less reason some authors have reunited some of these 
forms under @Orbigny’s Quingveloc. Ferusacit, seemingly a thinner form, 
but with the same leading features as the Vienna forms. In the mean time
