JReviews — Cretaceous Series of Ifpper Missouri. 427 



England, Islands of Moen and Riigen in the Baltic, Bohemia, Russia, 

 and Missouri ; Eocene : Egypt, and Bavaria ; also from volcanic mud 

 in the Eastern Archipelago, and from vv^ind-diist at Malta, Lyons, 

 and Silesia or Austria. Dr. H. B. Brady has recorded it as 

 occurring in a brackish tidal pond at Westport, Ireland. It is 

 a common Cretaceous fossil, being recorded from the Chalk of 

 Swanscombe (zone of Micraster cor-testudinariiim), from the Chalk 

 of Taplow (zone of Belemnitella quadrata) ; from the Chalk of 

 Westphalia, by Eeuss, under the name T. glohifera ; also by 

 Andreae, from the Oligocene of Elsass, under the name T. gracillima; 

 and by Millett from the Pliocene of St. Erth. One specimen has 

 been met vi'ith in the Chillesford Beds of Aldeby, near Beccles. 



3. Teitilaria gihhosa, d'Orbigny. Bailey, Amer. Journ. Sci. and 

 Arts, vol. xli, 1841, p. 401, tig. 1 (?) ; Woodward and Thomas, 

 13th Geol. Rep. Minnesota, 1885, p. 166. pi. iii, figs. 1-5 (as 

 " T. globulosa''); Calvin, Iowa Geol. Survey, voL iii, 1895, 

 p. 225 (as a small broad variety of T. glohidosa widening rapidly 

 in its growth, and, indeed, zoologically there is very little differ- 

 ence between these forms), pi. xix, fig. 6. This is a common 

 Textilaria, both recent and fossil. 



4. Textilaria striata, Ehrenberg. G. M. Dawson, Canad. Nat., 

 vol. vii, 1874, p. 253, fig. a (given as " T. glohidosa"). This is 

 a variety of T. gihhosa. Among the figures of this form given by 

 Woodward and Thomas in tlie Thirteenth Report of the Geological 

 Survey of Minnesota, 1885, p. 166, pi. iii, figs. 1-5 (there termed 

 " r. globuJosa "), one partially striated individual is shown by fig. 5. 

 This is more especially an American species. 



5. Spiroplecta Americana, Ehrenberg. Mentioned by Bailey, 

 Amer. Journ. Sci. and Arts, vol. xlvi, 1844, p. 308 ; but the figure in 

 the footnote is possibly a Textilaria, not a Spiroplecta. Woodwaixl 

 and Thomas, Thirteenth Report Geol. Surv. Minnesota, 1885, p. 168, 

 pi. iii, fig. 9. This species was at first regarded by Ehrenberg as a 

 Textilaria; but its name was changed by him to Eeterohelix in 1841; 

 and in his " Mikrogeologie," 1854, he referred to it as Spiroplecta 

 Americana from the Chalk of Missouri and Mississippi. Equivalent 

 forms, not always arenaceous, are found in the European Chalk 

 and Tertiaries, and in existing seas. 



6. Bolivina punctata, d'Orbigny. A well-known subtypical form 

 of Bulimina, under which generic appellation it appears in the 

 Iowa Geol Survey, vol. iii, 1895, p. 229, pi. xix, fig. 8. This is 

 cosmopolitan in the oceans, from shallow to abyssal waters ; and it 

 is common in the Chalk and Tertiaries. 



7. Dentalina communis, d'Orbigny. Calvin, Iowa Geol. Survey, 

 vol. iii, 1895, p. 229 ("Nodosarian forms"), pi. xix, figs. 11, 12, 13. 

 Such Nodosarines occur in the Permian and Jurassic strata, and are 

 extremely common in European Chalk, in the Tertiaries, and in 

 many seas, from shallow to abyssal depths. 



8. Nodosaria omhigua, Neugeboren. Nodosaria Texana, Conrad, 

 Geol. Reports US. and Mexican Boundary Survey, vol i, pt. 2 (4to, 

 Washington, 1857), "Description of Cretaceous and Tertiary Fossils,"
