108 F. Chapman — Foraminiferal Limestones from Egypt. 



The sections of this species are numerous in the thin slices of the 

 Farafra limestone. It was from this particular rock that Sch wager 

 obtained his examples. 



Specimens 3,335& and c. Farafra Oasis : Libyan Series. 



BULIMINA, d'Orbigny [1826]. 



BuLiMiNA ELEGANTissiMA, d'Orb., var. SEMiNUDA, Tcrqucm. 

 (PI. V, Figs. 5a, 6.) 



Bulimina seminuda, Terquem, 1882 : Mem. Soc. geol. France, ser. iii, vol. ii, 



Mem. iii, p. 117, pi. xii, fig. 21. 

 B. elegantissima, d'Orb., var. seminuda, Terquem, Brady, 1884 : Eep. Chall., vol. ix, 



p. 403, pi. L, figs. 23, 24. 



Terquem's specimens came from the Eocene of the Paris Basin. 

 The recent examples are most typical from shallow water. 



This species is represented in the series now described by a single 

 example, slightly more crispate in form, but otherwise typical. 

 This is its first occurrence in the Egyptian Eocene. 



No. 3,3356. Farafra Oasis : Libyan Series. 



Globigekina bulloides, d'Orbigny. 



D'Orbigny, 1826 : Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. vii, p. 277, No. 1 ; Modeles, Nos. 17 and 76. 

 Schwager, 1883 : PalseontograpMca, vol. xxx. Pal. Theil, p. 118, 

 pi. xxvii (iv), figs. 5ff-c. 



The whole of the present material has yielded only one specimen 

 of the above form ; Schwager's examples also came from the 

 Mokattam Series. 



No. l,480e. Plateau west of Baharia Oasis : Lower Mokattam 

 Series. 



Globigerina cretacea, d'Orbigny. 

 D'Orbigny, 1840: Mem. Soc. geol. Prance, vol. iv, p. 34, pi. iii, figs. 12-14. 



This species is not uncommon in sections of the Lower Libyan 

 limestone ; it is possibly derived from Cretaceous beds. 



No. 1,631/. North of Mendische, Baharia Oasis : Libyan Series. 



DISCOEBINA, Parker & Jones [1862]. 

 DiscoRBiNA PARisiENSis (d'Orbigny). 



Eosalina parisiemis, d'Orbigny, 1826 : Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. vii, p. 271, No. 1 ;

 Falvinulina cf. campanella, Giimbel, Schwager, 1883 : Palffiontographica, vol. xxx. 



Pal. Theil, p. 131, pi. xxviii (v), figs. Za~d. 



Schwager's figure appears to be that of a discorbine form, and 

 one of our specimens exactly matches it. There is little doubt as 

 to its relationship with the Rosalina paristensis of d'Orbigny.

TEUNCATULINA, d'Orbigny [1826]. 

 Truncatulina candidtjla (Schwager).

A specimen of the above occurs in our Upper Libyan [Alveolina) 

 limestone. Schwager's specimens, however, came from the
